"I want to thank you guys again for giving me the best training available. I feel confident that I could work for any airline in the world - guaranteed."
P.D. Sep-Oct 99 graduate

Delta operations control center

 

"The Morris Family and Sheffield School have been in Aviation longer than any other school around. My classmates who are now working as dispatchers have told me that they know more and are better trained than other dispatchers from other schools. Sheffield does not in anyway just "crank-out" dispatchers; you will have to work very hard. If you want to be a Dispatcher, go to the best school, SHEFFIELD."

Testimonials & Letters of Recommendation from Dispatch Supervisors & Airline pilots regarding Sheffield graduates!!

2003

To Whom It may Concern,

XXXX worked under my supervision as a aircraft dispatcher... His responsibilities included flight planning and flight following of the De Havilland DHC-8 Aircraft under FAR part 121 flight rules. During the course of his employment, XXXX proved himself to be an able employee and a dependable hard worker. On more than one occasion he went above and beyond what was expected of him as a dispatcher. As his supervisor I could always count on XXXX without hesitation. I was quite impressed by his ability to handle a high workload and work well under pressure. He is an innovative self-starter, who rarely needs supervision. While XXXX was employed at XXX Airlines he demonstrated a willingness to learn new tasks and created a positive atmosphere in the office. I highly recommend XXXX for whatever position he may decide to take up next. He is the type of employee that anyone would be happy to work with.

Sincerely,
K.F.
Dispatch Supervisor
XXX Airlines


To Whom It May Concern:

XXX has been employed by XXX Airlines since xxx, 2001, as an aircraft dispatcher. We have four dispatchers, a supervisor, three maintenance controllers and three crew schedulers. We work extremely close and xxx works well with all the various personalities. xxx's responsiblities include aircraft dispatching under FAR 121 regulations, flight following which includes delays, cancellations and updates for any of the wide variety of problems that arise from weather, crew, maintenance, station, air traffic, and airport facility issues. This includes crew legality as well as minimum equipment list issues. xxx is a reliable, hard worker and takes pride in his knowledge and work experience to make safe and wise decisions for xxx Airlines. He does not require constant supervision and therefore makes my job actually easier. I appreciate his initiative and trustworthiness. Any company xxx decides to work for will benefit from his character of honesty and work ethics. He is continually looking for ways to improve himself and the operation. I recommend xxx in whatever his next endeavor might be. Please feel free to call me for any further information.

Sincerely,
BA. S.
xxx Airlines Dispatch Supervisor
xxx Airlines


To Whom it may concern,

I have been a Flight Control Center Supervisor for over 5 years and have been xxxx xxxxx's supervisor for all of his career at xxx Airlines. I consider him an asset to this company, much like he would be an asset to your company. He is highly motivated, hard working, extremely reliable and knowledgeable as an aircraft dispatcher. He maintains a good professional attitude towards both the company and his constituents, and gets along well with both his peers and his supervisors. He has displayed superb judgement while dispatching under adverse conditions, whether it be severe weather, irregular operations or personnel shortages, and is more than willing to accept additional duties of which he handles with ease. I would highly recommend xxx for a similar position with any company he chooses to pursue.

Sincerely,
T.S.
Flight Control Supervisor


To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept this recommendation in reference to Mr. xxx xxxxx. As a 14 year Captain with xxxxx Airlines, I have worked closely with xxx on numerous occasions. As my dispatcher I could always count on xxx being one step ahead of me. I thought of him as a co-captain. With his knowledge of dispatch and weather, I trusted his suggestions and advice, which in return lead to a safe and legal flight.

Most importantly, it is xxx's character and work ethic that I find refreshing. You can teach regulations, but you can not teach integrity. With a hard day of flying eight legs and dodging thunderstorms, it's nice to be working with a professional that is also your friend.

Respectfully,
Dr. C.C.
Captain, xxxxxx Airlines


To Whom it May Concern:

I have been a Captain for xxx Airlines for twenty-four years, and therefore have had the opportunity to work with many dispatchers. For the last two years I have had the privilege to work with xxx xxxx on many days. Obviously, we work in a very dynamic environment, so I have had xxx on good weather days as well as bad. There have been aircraft mechanical problems as well as airport operation situations to deal with. xxx has been a very "hands on" dispatcher. He knows how to adjust to changing conditions both on the ground and in-flight. He communicates with his crews and flights very effectively and in an efficient manner. He always remains calm and tries to "find a way" to get the job done. A flight crew always finds their job to be easier when they have a dispatcher who is "hands on" and is an effective communicator. xxx is that dispatcher. I enjoy working as a team with him and I recommend xxx as a dispatcher without any reservations. If there are any specific questions I can answer please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
J.P.


To Whom it may Concern:

Mr. xxx has demonstrated a high level knowledge and professionalism. I have had the opportunity to work with xxx during normal and sometimes hectic periods of flight operations. He exercises a great deal of patience and gets along extremely well with others. In conversations with my fellow pilots, I have found that Mr. xxx has earned a reputation as a very competent, responsible and amiable dispatcher who often goes out of his way to assist his co-workers in the safe and efficient operation of the airline.

I recommend xxx xxx without reservation in any position of flight operations.

Sincerely,
A.B.

To Whom it may concern,

I would like to give my recommendation for xxxx xxxx whom I have worked with for many years at xxxxx Airlines. As a captain for xxxxx Airlines I have worked with many Dispatchers over the years but none stand out in the crowd like xxxx. I am constantly impressed by his drive, dedication and professionalism. xxxx has always gone that extra mile to make sure that the crews that he was working with were happy, healthy and above all safe. During a 14 hour day with many flights, weather, maintenance problems and few breaks, xxxx could always be counted on to provide the best of service with great attention to details such as anticipating delays, fuel loads and changing alternate weather requirements. I am always relieved when I see xxxx's name on my release because I know that every detail has been looked over and is correct. Aside from xxx's abilities as a dispatcher, what makes him stand out in the crowd is his personality. xxxx has an infectious positive attitude that would be an asset to any company in any capacity anywhere. For these reasons I am very happy to recommend xxxx xxxx.

Sincerely
J.P. M.

July 17, 2003

As a line pilot at ---- Airlines, I've had the pleasure to work with Dispatcher ---- ---- for the last few years. ---- has always balanced a professional demeanor with a very cordial manner in all of my interaction with him. He has always been very helpful in providing timely, accurate information prior to and during the flight operations I have conducted while he was my dispatcher, and I can say quite honestly that I can never recall hearing any negative comments from any other pilot regarding his service to them.

---- is seeking to advance his career as a dispatcher, and I'd like to recommend him for the position. I feel he has well served our pilots and Flight Operations Department at ----, and that the experience he has gained here will benefit any Flight Operations he dispatches for in the future. I regret to see him leave us, but I'm glad for him that he's moving up to bigger and better opportunities.

Sincerely,

This letter serves as a character reference for xxxx xxxxxx. He and I have worked together...and it has been a sincere pleasure working with a dispatcher who is as dedicated a professional as he is.

He is a team player with a "can do" attitude and people enjoy working with him.

Captain xxxx Express


To Whom It May Concern:

I am happy for the opportunity to write a letter of reference for xxx xxxx. As a Captain with xxx Airlines, I have worked with xxx for the last couple of years, and I have always found xxx's work as a dispatcher to be excellent.

He is knowledgeable about his job, competently using the tools at his disposal to assure that every flight he dispatches can be conducted safely and efficiently. He does a good job of keeping us informed about what is going on, and suggesting courses of action as weather, air traffic, or facility conditions change throughout the day. When problems arise along the way, xxx is quick to find solutions to them so that the flights he is responsible for can be completed in the best way possible. When I call xxx with a concern, I often find that he is already aware of the situation, has thought about it, and has suggestions about how to work it out. And when I call with questions about weather, maintenance, air traffic, or other issues, I usually find that he has the information at his finger tips, or he finds it very quickly so that we can work together to come with a plan of action. xxx does a thoroughly professional job.
But in addition to doing a great job with the details of dispatching, xxx is a pleasure to work with. He is always pleasant, and even when his work load is high and he is dealing with potentially very frustrating situations, he is courteous and professional.

I believe that xxx will be an asset wherever he works, and therefore I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hard worker and a high quality dispatcher.

Sincerely,
R.W. B.
