Travel Benefits for a Dispatcher + other questions ??

Tuckster · January 25th, 2008, 08:24

I'm an older comm ME pilot that has been considering a regional job (2 offers) but because of the pay, and QOL etc. would consider non-flying jobs. I have a pension so I don't need to worry about the pay or the future like a younger individual. Do dispatchers get non-rev travel benefits similar to a regional ?? Where are the dispatchers located ?? Are that at the domiciles or the home base only ?? Any/all suggestions are appreciated.

Dispatchers do get non-rev benefits if you are working for a 121 carrier. If the airline you work for is part of the CASS system you may be able to jumpseat on other carriers (different then non-rev). Dispatcher are typically located at the corporate headquarters working in the Operation Control Center (OCC), therefore you would most likely want to live in the same city as where you work. To work as a dispatcher for a regional you will need to get your dispatch license.
