Testimonial – J. Ganci“Their reputation of excellence amongst the industry is second to none. Sheffield School of Aeronautics should be seen as the standard of how it can be done and how it should be done. I was hired at a major airline with no dispatch experience.” A.Z.

Sidebar PWGood 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. My classmates, while very smart, definitely had subpar training and that has been very evident. I have waited to write a full scale review of the […]
Attending Sheffield School benefits airline new hires in preparation for airline training“This school came highly recommended by multiple past students and EVEN OTHERS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS. Reputation is fantastic from multiple companies that I have worked for.”
A. – September 2020“I wanted to tell you I got the job offer from Expressjet, and start next month! I think a couple others from class were hired as well. It just shows the Sheffield reputation when I see graduates from other schools complaining that they can’t get an interview – I wasn’t even back home to Minneapolis […]
Dan Gustafson“While touring my company’s dispatch department before I had my license our OCC manager pointed out that 7 of the 10 dispatchers on shift had come from Sheffield. The overall consensus was that Sheffield grads were able to hit the ground running as they were better prepared.” K.O.
Sidebar K.O.“Going to Sheffield prepared me for the real world challenges of Aircraft Dispatching. I certainly believe that the method Sheffield used is one not only for success in a real world career, but also one that prepares students to correctly dispatch aircraft.” T.Z.

Airline Employees are ‘Disinsecting’ Planes for Safety
When people hear that the planes that they fly on are regularly sprayed with pesticides, and that sometimes people themselves are sprayed, they might think it is not true. In reality, the practice of “disinsecting” is one that happens regularly all over the world, including the US.
The aviation industry uses this practice to limit the spread of infectious diseases by bugs. Being inside a pressurized cabin for the length of a transcontinental flight gives bugs the ability spread whatever diseases they’re carrying to whoever they want to. It is a bug’s dream. However, for those one the plane, it could end up being a battle with malaria, or even yellow fever if these bugs are allowed to roam free.
In some countries, the practice is that the pesticide is sprayed directly onto the passengers and airline employees while they are on the plane. In other countries the practice is to spray the plane while nobody is on board, and allow people back on when it’s safe. For this method, the theory is that the residue left from the pesticide will be enough to keep infectious diseases in their place.
There are differing opinions as to whether or not this is a safe practice, but the aviation industry is still allowing it. Some worry that flight attendants and frequent fliers are prone to being exposed to high levels of pesticides, but at the same time the idea of not addressing infectious diseases is just as scary.
