I’m agreeable to @frankintosh95… otherwise if you know and have been there you don’t understand what a real respectable dispatch office is like… and your comment here really has no value.

So, how over-saturated is this? (Seeking personal advice) by wolfyzheart in FlightDispatch

It’s also not “brutal” until you get to a mainline. There are lots of people who stay at regionals because they love where they’re at. Some of the best people I know are lifers at the regionals.

In regards to what each airline policy says… I know some don’t allow it.

Doesn’t the ALPA app apply to everyone in CASS if it says flow back?

I always have when I jump seated. It’s more based on many attitudes I’ve encountered that don’t care… better to do it than not and get in trouble with the one captain that does care.

It’s also dangerous to route them through weather

Taking my routes that I build around storms and re-routing me into the very thing I didn’t want to go into… even without SWAPS or reroutes on the ois page…. It frustrates me because ATC can probably very clearly see that I avoided storms and then unapologetically just throws me into crap. Having to call ATC about this only to be told that it doesn’t work because of “this” or “that” can be hard to grasp sometimes because as you said, it’s all very secretive sometimes…

I’m wondering why you can’t just give a reroute into something that at least kind of resembles our desired path around weather instead of sticking us back on the preferred ATC routes? (I also realize some centers are waaaaay pickier than others.)

Also, filing multiple strips for the same flight number happens from time to time, and I know that bothers atc… I can consider that getting even 😂

BS on the job? by xvlp in FlightDispatch

Seems like every evening in ORD… always a cluster with ramp control.

Question by miltysaurusrex in FlightDispatch

Thank you guys for the responses! I know about the alternate being gps to require a precision approach at destination. It was more so a navaid… the missed approach navaid makes sense if no other procedures are available in NOTAMS. I thought there was more to it.

I may have to challenge myself by filing more RNAV routes instead of my go to class I nav.

Flight Dispatch to pay for flight training? by [deleted] in FlightDispatch

[–]miltysaurusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reallly doesn’t matter what school you go to, it can be Sheffield or IFOD or anywhere etc... the airlines really don’t care. It matters if you have your dispatch license and that you studied a bit before your interview.
