Loving Air France virtual so far and I would like to know the procedure on becoming a dispatcher. Is there a minimum number of legs required etc.? I just want to contribute my bit and as much as possible.

Thanks, JJ

Hello Jj en welkom na AFVA! smile

As far as I can remember Dispatch positions are advertised in the Career Opportunities section of the website, I might be wrong though, I'll let some other staff members chime in...

Hi Robert,

Baie dankie smile

Good to see another South African here,

If we could clear that up it would be great, otherwise I will be on the lookout for a dispatcher job position... There never seems to be a dispatcher online when I am on, so I thought the guys might be a little short of dispatchers.

There are a couple of us here, 5 I think. There are quite a few dispatchers around, but obviously we're spread over a multitude of time zones! If you're in need of dispatch and see me on ACARS, send me a PM and I'll log on and dispatch for you smile
