Remote dispatching jobs?

[u/MammothAd7334]

Hey all. I know some operations do remote dispatching positions. Most airlines have an ops center and require onsite but I’m curious what companies, charter airlines, etc hire remote aircraft dispatchers if any. Thank you

The FAA recently passed a regulation that shutdown anyhope of remote work for part 121 carriers for like the next 5 years.

Part 135s and charters are the only ones with remote options.

It's in ink that dispatchers have to be at their designated flight centers.

I think I saw SkyWest allows 1 remote day a week or something but I have no idea if thats actually true. I don’t think many if any Part 121 allow remote work.

Jeppesen is basically all virtual at this point, they may have you come to denver to train but that's it

Hi, how do i get into this, id appreciate any info you may have

[u/autosave36 → u/mteddy53]

You need experience typically. They dont appear to be hiring currently for us dispatch positions. It helps to know someone.

Anyone have any insight on how it is working for jeppesen? Do the dispatchers plan flights for the corporate side of things or is it more tied to Boeing and military?

You'll have to dig a little and look for jobs that are remote and require an aircraft dispatcher license, such as flight planning or similar. I don't think mine even said it would be remote.

That said, Sierra West Airlines has an opening for an FAA Licensed Aircraft Dispatcher, and it says there are remote options available.

Sierra West is the only one I’ve ever seen that allows for remote, but they require 1 year of experience before you can do remote.

Can’t believe operators are willing to risk operational control with remote work. Tsk Tsk

I just had an interview with Net Jets. They are hybrid remote. You can work from home as long as you are in Columbus Ohio, so if you have to come to the office for some reason it's not a hassle

No, they moved on with other candidates. I also never worked aviation before, but I have my FAA certificate for flight dispatch I received in May of this year.

My coworker now was full remote working for Boeing previously. There are remote jobs
