You would be wrong on that.. Most dispatchers are in CASS and can and do have the same offline jumpseat bennies as the pilots do. Now each airline has a jumpseat listing priority that differs from airline to airline so don't know where they would fall in the boarding . But yes on their own metal dispatchers have the required FAM ride a couple times a year . Think it's 4 hrs total they can also do it in the sim if they want.
