Whats psa? Can someone else other than reek provide some insight, is This a regional? Sorry for all the questions, really appreciate it
 
He is joking. You need a dispatch license to dispatch at any US Carrier as well as interview. When you are about two weeks away from getting your license, apply at all the regionals who are looking for dispatchers. It would also behoove you to google airlines in the United States and start looking at their requirements.

that's what I have been doing...haven't heard back yet. Really hoping to get on at Ravn or PenAir so I don't have to leave Alaska, but will if that's what I have to do!
 
Dear God. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when everyone just continues to heap unrealistic encouragement on to the folks.
Poor TexassCRJ has got all his/her ducks phuked up because he/she has had so much smoke puffed up his/her behind that he/she axxlly thinks one can apply and interview
without a license. Seriously folks? This in NOT a professional forum. This is precisely what all that over achieving cheerleading can lead to.
Im headed over to the pilot forum. At least those guys can handle the heat.
FYI , PSA is one of three regional carriers that are wholly owned by AA. Based in Dayton , Ohio. Appox. 95 CRJs, 650 flts a day. 27 dispatchers. Pay starts at 14.45/hr
New OCC building, New Dispatch Manager. Best pizza is Cousin Vinnys and best donuts Bill's. No Starbucks for 15 miles around...unless you want to run into the terminal, where you can find excellent espresso.
And Yes, Reek (needs to chill just a bit) is being sarcastic. Do NOT apply to PSA without license. Not gonna go anywhere but the trash. Reek was at PSA for a short while. He was severly scared by that experience. LOL!! He has moved on to much higher ground. We all miss his incredible mind.

so do you recommend PSA? I was just told always appy because all they can say is no. Why not! what is the average pay of a regional? 14.45 seems really low to me.
 
Oh geez.... There's so much drama in here lately.

Yes, you can actually apply to a job while enrolled in school with a completion date listed on said application, and be considered for a position if the timing lines up. Will you get an interview without a license? Not likely, but the application process at airlines can take weeks before interviews are offered. Applying in the last few weeks of class can put you in the running for an interview invite, as theoretically you'll be licensed by that time. Add some networking in there and you might find things work out in your favor. Dispatch school is only 5-6 weeks and I've seen the screening process last for a month or more before invites were offered.

Don't let the negativity from some get to you newbies... As I said in a previous post, this is what you make it. Maintain a can do attitude, work hard and it will pay off.

If you are really considering dispatch as a career, I'd highly suggest you put the time in to research more. Airlines, locations, pay, etc so that you have a better idea of what you are thinking of getting into. You can find a lot of info online and if able, try to get a tour of an SOC so you can see the operation in person.

I've said it before, but when I was interested in learning more, I read threads on here for weeks, gaining as much knowledge as I could. I also reached out and was able to tour an SOC. I did a fair amount of research online. I wanted to make sure that I was making a well informed decision. That was critical for me, as I was in my late 30's at the time.

Of course we will answer any questions you have but if you are really considering this, do what you have to do to get a well rounded idea of what this career is and what it will mean for your life until you land at that last airline. For example, $14-16/hr seems pretty normal for a regional airline. Also, plan on moving more than once, at your expense.

You're announcing this before the UPS hiring? Might want to up that number since we are hiring again. That's our new defacto farm team, because our last batch was too good to not keep scouting.

DO APPLY without a license- the hardest question on the interview is what is your blood pressure! Do you need a license for that- no.. GOOD! Can you code delays--- YES! AMEN $10/hr until you get that license in cinncy then you can join the dispatch desk where 2/3 of the people there should have their licenses suspended.
Make the managers say no- who cares, they may offer you some side job in the interim.
I do miss OP3 QTC DQT FP0 DFR and especailly the daily AREEE YOUUUU READDDDYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait does this mean he can afford christmas presents?
 
I'd sincerely recommend looking into 135 operations as a flight follower if you don't have a license, are young enough to move about, and want to get a head start some place without working on a ramp.

Cape Air, Ameriflight, Island Air, Wiggins Airways, and PlaneSense immediately come to mind. All in the great states of New England - Ameriflight might be in BUF still.
 
I applied while in school. I got an email to set up an interview before sitting for my ADX. Interview was scheduled the week after I was signed off on the O&P. Got the job and started two weeks after graduating. So you can apply while in school, however, like womanpilot stated you should put your date of completion on the application.
