    121 derived alt mins question

    flight going to PHL......listed alternate as MDT. Question arises from pilot about if MDT is valid. The forecasted ceiling at ETA was 800 bkn, greater than 6. Captain calls and says he needs a different alternate due to the whole 1 navaid/2 navaid thing. I was out of the room, and came...

    I am convinced I'm stuck

    So it feels ever increasingly lately that I am destined to be stuck at a regional for my entire dispatch career, IF my company manages to hold on that long. Aside from the economy being garbage, how do people do it.....how do you get to a major to where you can actually make some REAL money...

    question about YOUR contracts

    I was curious as to what your contract rules are regarding junior manning? Just trying to get info in case I'm still here when our next contract negotiations role around. The reason I bring this up is because I was recently junior manned with only a few days notice. I am a little upset by...

    Confusion on Jeppesen online CFI renewal test question

    Help me out here guys. I am a CFI, but I haven't actually flown in over 5 years. I do like to keep my CFI renewed just in case. I am very puzzled by a test question on the Jeppesen online CFI renewal course. The question asked what the weather requirements were to depart within the boundaries...

    majors hiring practices

    Hey all, I know I have made postings about this in the past, but this is more a specific question in these regards. Out of curiosity, do most of the majors only hire internally? I heard recently Southwest hired two, but it was internal candidates only. I have NEVER seen postings for...

    Airline stocks?

    So does anyone else feel maybe now is the time to start grabbing up some airline stocks? I would never invest in airlines for the long term....but for capital gains, things seem like they might be on the rise unless something major happens to the price of fuel. Aren't a lot of airlines...

    Corporation dispatching

    So does anyone do corporate dispatching on here? I have seen things for Home Depot and other companies, but I'm curious as to how much actual real dispatching you do. I knew a guy a long time ago working for Home Depot dispatching and it sounded more like he arranged...

    Jeppesen dispatch

    Hello, I have recently seen an advertised position for a Jeppesen dispatcher in Denver. I have noticed that these positions at Jeppesen seem to come up more frequently than with the airlines. I have heard that Jeppesen pays very well, but I am curious as to if the more frequent postings have...

    Mergers and OCC relocations

    Curious to know if this CO/UAL thing goes down Monday like all the news reports are saying, would the two companies most likely merge OCCs into one big location, or keep a seperate Houston and Chicago OCC? What happened with Delta/Northwest? Are they operating separate, or did they combine...

    Question for Republic/Chautauqua dispatch...

    I have a good friend who is struggling with Chautauqua's comp check. He has shown me questions they are asking him on this comp check, and I am left scratching my head. I'm a damn good dispatcher, but for the life of me I don't know why these kinds of questions that are being asked of him on...

    Continental dispatch contract

    Hey, I read that Continental dispatchers worked out a new 4 year contract. Any details about anything good in it? I would hope the starting pay would have been increased, as well as maybe the whole 6 months for health benefits thing. I interviewed with Continental once and I was really...

    RVR reporting

    Anyone know why only certain airports have their RVR readings available online and through products like Flight Explorer? Is it really that hard to have all the airports that have RVR reporting to be able to broadcast this through text means rather than me (a dispatcher) having to call and bug...

    Boeing Dispatcher...

    Hey all, A position for a Flight Dispatcher 3 for Boeing was posted on my school's jobs board. I checked it out and unfortunately am not qualified as I lack the total years experience and the international experience, but for those of you who may be looking for something and have that kind of...

    what does this Notam mean?

    What does the Notam "unmanned rocket" usually mean? Are these rocket clubs shooting off models? Are they military rockets? Are they rockets to scare of birds from the airport? Curious dispatchers want to know. Thanks.

    Getting back in to it.....

    So I have a degree in aviation science and hold a commercial multi-engine rating. I was an unfortunate graduate right post 9/11, so let's just say a lot of my aviation dreams got dashed. I haven't flown in probably 5 years now, and have a little over 300 hours......I've currently settled on...

    Is Jetblue going to be moving?

    Hey JB dispatchers, I heard awhile back that JB was strongly considering moving to Orlando. What's the probability of this, and when are they thinking about the move if there is truth to it?

    Rail dispatching?

    No joke, has anyone else here ever thought about rail dispatching? I mean hell, I like trains.....it would be similar type of work, right? Has anyone on here ever looked in to it or started pursuing it? If anyone has any knowledge about it, I'd love to hear from ya.

    When does it get unsafe?

    I think I'm about at my breaking point. My company won't hire a replacement for the dispatcher we lost.....our workload feels so high right now. I can barely keep up, and I'm one of the fast ones! Everything on my screen just seems to blur together. Can't even take the time to look and...
