"...I am still in the dispatch world working for ---- Airlines out of ---. It is more challenging than my previous job with ----, as now I dispatch 737s, 757s, and 767s all over the world. Other new hires have been assigned domestic flights only, while I have advanced to international flights. I attribute this to the excellent training I received at Sheffield..."
Thanks again,

"The instructor was very prepared and up to date on the material. (The) slides and information that were handed out worked well. The excercises we did in class brought the text information together as a complete package. The course will help us develop the programnecessary for our company to be approved for ETOPS. Many Thanks!"

Hello Ron and the gang,

Hope all is going well. Thanks again for the great training; it has paid off. I now work at UPS as a Long Range International Operations planner, which required a Dispatch License, and 3 years of international experience. You have the best training I have seen for dispatchers, and I am thankful for that. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again,

Dear Ron, Eric, and Brett,

Thank you so much for allowing us to attend your ETOPS class. I thought Brett did an outstanding job of presenting the material and it was presented at exactly the level I needed. It is obvious you guys have a passion for what you do. That is great to see. Keep up the good work! Thank you also for your hospitality while we were in town. It was very kind of you to make us feel so welcome.

This workshop has taken my knowledge of weather to the next level. I feel confident I will be able to operate at a significantly higher level of safety and accuuracy. The instructor is an extremely gifted and knowledgable teacher! A.S.

Sheffield note: Graduate above was 1 of 4 hired by SkyWest over 200 other applicants - A.S. was fresh out of school. Most of the applicants had prior dispatch experience.

It has been a great experience. I improved my 'know-how'. I found the EWINS course very interesting and all additional theory about weather-that it's changed the way I see the sky! Thank you! G.C.

"Awesome presentation. The instructors are very knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to get you the answer you are looking for. I would advise anyone who doesn't understand how weather works to take EWINS."

"Outstanding as it blended so well with the information taught during the 6 week course!"

Question of the Day:

Q: How can schools claim that they cover computer flight planning during courses such as ETOPS when they show classroom pictures of students around a conference table in a small room without computers?

A: They don't. Assuming they are not completely dishonest, they may "cover" (gloss over) what a computer flightplan output may look like using a slide or transparency. Just don't expect to do an actual computer flight plan. As a consolation though, these conference centers usually serve coffee and donuts...
