Pinnacle is hiring 40-50 new dispatchers. ExpressJet for 18. Silver is looking and Republic hires regularly.
At what point does the supply of willing and qualified dispatchers run out?
Dispatch is a small world. There arent a lot of us. Most schools have a majority or large minority at least of students from overseas. Of those domestic students, many are looking for internal jobs at their own airline and others have no interest in relocating to places like MSP and MEM.
What kind of dispatch hiring would it take to create an actual shortage of dispatchers? Dispatch schools can license someone in a month. Airlines sign them off in another month. But at what point does the number of open jobs exceed those that are willing to work at these places for those kinds of wages?
