After at least 5 weeks, studying day in and day out and passing your ADX written and practical test, you finally received your flight dispatcher license. Great achievement!I am not trying to ruin it for you but this is just the beginning of your journey. Next, you need to get yourself ready for your interviews and be so good that they cannot reject you. When I was going through the licensing process many years ago, I realized that there is no good reference in the market to tell future dispatchers what they need to learn - other than all of the technical topics they need to master in order to qualify and pass the dispatcher's license test (Unfortunately this is still the case - that is why I decided to write this book). Also, not everyone has access to flight dispatchers who are actually doing this job already with large airlines. So, chances for new dispatchers to visit the airline's facility and sit with their dispatchers are slim to none. What we learn in dispatch schools are the requirements set by FAA/ICAO for certification purposes. What you need to know to survive daily as a dispatcher in a medium to the large airline, is totally different than what you have learned so far while in school. This book is not a how-to book and it is not intended to teach you how to be a dispatcher. It does not teach you how to dispatch a flight. That is up to your airline to train you and ensure that you are a competent dispatcher. This book will, however, highlight the areas you need to focus on and will discuss why they are important. It attempts to illustrate the big picture for you as a dispatcher and explain how each and everything you do in your daily function, impact hundreds and thousands of customers. You can also use some of the topics explained in this book as an aid to your interview process. In most flight dispatch interviews, you will be given a scenario and will be asked to walk the interviewers through your decision-making process.Some of the topics in this book are followed by an Interview Tip. Take these tips seriously as they would greatly help you succeed in your next dispatch job interview.
