Testimonial – J. GanciGood 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 […]

A. – September 2020“These men represented the highest caliber of professionalism and integrity. The education I received from these gentleman has afforded me to be gainfully employed while having the opportunity to use the education received, all over this country, and more than a few others.” WG
sidebar wg“I am a graduate of the Sheffield’s Dispatcher Program. I have been a Captain-Part 121 Airline, Certified Flight/Grnd Instructor, and FAA Designated Check Airman and Sim Instructor (Part 121). From my experience I would rate Sheffield School as outstanding in their field.” PT
PT“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 AZ“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.

Privatization of US Air Traffic Control Systems
Ask any aircraft dispatcher and they’ll tell you that aviation in the US is a large, regulation-heavy industry that can be slow to change. One of the more outdated systems in the US aviation industry is the air traffic control system. However, it may be in line for an overhaul in terms of regulation and aircraft dispatcher jobs.
Major airlines are urging President Trump to allow for the privatization of the US air traffic control system. The shift would take control away from the FAA (which has run the system since 1958) and allow a private company, or companies, to create a better alternative. What does this have to do with aircraft dispatchers, and how will it affect aircraft dispatcher jobs?
A change of this magnitude will ultimately affect the entire aviation industry as a whole, and although aircraft dispatchers may not feel the difference immediately, it will certainly ripple outwards.
Possible changes for aircraft dispatchers:
President Trump has been enacting major, seeping changes in regulations in the first weeks of his appointment. The “Big Three” (American Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines) are meeting with the president this month to discuss ways to get Americans to fly major airlines overseas instead of foreign carriers.
It’s unknown whether the privatization of the air traffic controller system was mentioned, though it would not be a stretch to think it was.
