Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits
Most major airlines consider dispatch positions as senior management level positions. Candidates are often selected from within the company after they have accumulated 15 to 20 years of experience in a variety of aviation-related areas, including supervisory positions. Candidates selected from outside the company must have considerable experience—typically five years—with smaller carriers.
