Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience and/or input with regard to World Airline Dispatcher Schools in Fort Worth, TX? I'm considering on doing the 80 hour program -- as I have qualifying aviation experience.


Thanks!

Well I can't tell you how World Airline Dispatcher School is, but If you're considering a dispatch school in Fort Worth, I went to IFOD (Institue of Flight Operations & Dispatch) and can give you an insight there.

World airline dispatch is actually run by Higher Power Aviation. They are a highly reccomneded B737 traning school. They also have close ties and connections with southwest airlines. I know that the person that set up the dispatch course at Higher Power is a dispatcher for American airlines. If your looking around there is another good school in the Dallas area called Aviation Education International. The instructors there are all working dispatchers and pilots which could be very benneficial for a job when you get out. I myself went to IFOD, they teach you the required info however they cut alot of cornners. They are a pump'em and dump'em type of place. Rumor has it from a friend in the FAA is that they are being reviewed for how they are running that school. That could mean those who recieved their ticket from IFOD would have to retake a practical if IFOD ever got busted. However that is just a rumor and doesnt hold alot of merrit. I would say World/Higher Power is a safe bet.

Im not going to give away a lot of info here because I still work with all 3 schools in the DFW area and I dont need to create any more issues with Kash at IFOD. Here is my advise, when talking to a school, ask if they have ever worked with Richard Wateska, or Prakash. If they have then i would say you could get a better education somewhere else.
