I attended Sheffield in Apr/May of 2006 and have nothing but positive things to say about my experience there. Excellent place. If you wish, PM me for details.

I also have heard nothing but positives about Sheffield. A number of Delta dispatchers swear by them.

good to hear some positives, I just started a online distant learning course with them, loads of information, they seem real professional and top notch. Anyone currently dispatch or know someone that does?... would love to hear some real world info. about the job etc.

kilochuck,

How's the distance learning program working out for you? I'll be starting the same program here in a month or two.

just started up on the weather portion pretty in-depth, not sure how long it will take with working full-time, summer recreation, and other responsibilites, may have to push phase 2 back we'll see how it goes, when are you planning for phase 2?

 

[lwaldeck]

I'm planning for phase 2 in October, but I might make the August phase 2.

I'm in the same boat; full time job, summer, wife to keep happy, etc.

Good luck to you guys at Sheffield. The job markets are really favorable right now for applicants at many places and I believe Sheffield even now has brige agreements with Pinnacle as well.

post phase II, how long did it take you to get a job? what sort of wage/salary, benefits, and schedule? any and all info greatly appreciated. thanks
