MCGood afternoon Eric, I wanted to reach out to let you know that training at (airline) is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Sheffield.

Aircraft Dispatchers Are Poised to See an Industry Transform
To commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the first commercial flight, the Associated Press recently reached out to the CEOs of several prominent commercial airlines, asking them how they see air transportation changing in five, 25, and 100 years. Their answers predict an industry that continues to grow and embrace new technology.
In Five Years
Maurice J. Gallagher Jr., CEO of Allegiant Travel Company, believes that the next five years will be largely about automation. Specifically, check-in and boarding procedures will be streamlined to reduce labor cost. This may result in fewer employees working at gates and ticket counters, but will not affect the number of aircraft dispatchers needed to keep America’s planes traveling smoothly.
In 25 Years
David Barger, CEO of JetBlue Airways, Sir Richard Branson, President of Virgin Airways, and Jeff Smisek, CEO of United Airways, all agree that the next 25 years will see more planes traveling faster and more efficiently. Aircraft dispatchers will be needed to coordinate this increase in air travel, no doubt with the help of innovative new technologies.
In 100 Years
Industry leaders differed widely on their opinions about what the next hundred years of commercial flight will bring. While Ben Baldanza, CEO of Spirit Airlines, joked about Google mastering teleportation, David Siegel, CEO of Frontier Airlines, suggested the possibility of shorter, community flights or perhaps unmanned shuttles. What everyone did agree on was that air travel will remain important for many, many years to come.
Aircraft dispatchers are a vital part of an industry that provides a valuable service to the world. Anyone considering a job as a dispatcher should be excited to be a part of such a dynamic and important industry.
