i don't know about other places, or a central clearing house for information (like this is for airline pilots), but skywest is hiring dispatchers. http://www.skywest.com/careers/121ai...atch/121ad.php is the page with information for skywest, at least. good luck.

Here's some links to schools:

http://www.fltdisp.com/TheDispatchCa...4/Default.aspx

http://www.airlinedispatcher.com/

http://www.dispatcher.org/

http://www.sheffield.com/

Since one of our FA's is getting ready to go to school, I'm a little more up on this than most.

No aviation experience is required. If you are employed as a pilot at a 121 carrier, your training is much shorter. Think weeks instead of months.

Pay ranges from regional captain to near captain pay at a major.

It can take months to get a slot at a good school. It's not cheap, either.

Just like us, you start at smaller carriers. Mostly regionals, then work your way up the food chain.
