Dear fellow aviators,
I am considering in becoming a flight dispatcher somewhere in Europe or even somewhere in the Middle East. My characteristics/qualifications are as follows:
1. Age: 24
2. European Union Citizen
3. Australian Frozen ATPL holder
4. Bachelor degree in aviation management
5. Fluent in English, Spanish and Swedish.
With these qualifications, do I require anything else to secure a job as a flight dispatcher? American recruiters seem to require a flight dispatcher license issued by the FAA. Does the same apply for Europe/Middle East? If so, I am considering the Jeppesen school in Frankfurt....
Also, what are the job prospects? What can I expect as a starting salary? How does one progress through the years? My goal is to secure a job in one of the main airline careers in Europe or the Middle East.
I would appreciate any further suggestions and guidance.
Thanks!
