Looks like they run their shop similar to a 121 operation. I have heard Walmart (Corporate) is a terrific place to work. Rogers, AR (near XNA) is a beautiful area - 4 distinct seasons. The salary looks terrific with a max of 180K. Might be a sweet gig if you're eligible for early retirement.

Hell, starting at 90k is more than everyone but the majors.

Wonder how many years is that 180k top out

And so employees get discount at Walmart locations lol

Shhhhhhh. I’ve always had the impression the general dispatch community looked down on anything not 121 (despite the inherent flaws in this attitude).

Seems like lots of international ETOPS experience from reading the post

I worked there as a pilot for about 8 years. I'm a little surprised they're hiring a dispatcher, but that's a positive development.

Yea something’s odd as they had same posting few months back. These departments can go years or decades without hiring new dispatchers.

They didn't have dispatchers when I was there. There were flight followers but they were pilots who were paid extra for taking on that extra responsibility.

Seems like Walmart puts a lot of effort into keeping their transport/logistics people happy with the high pay. They pay their over-the-road truck drivers around 90k also if not more but they require like 5 years or so of CDL experience. Their aviation department was an important function back in the Sam Walton days. They used planes to fly around and look at the best sites to open new stores - look at the whole site area from above.
