Hi Eric,

I first just want to say thank you for having a great dispatch program. It certainly kicked my butt the 10 days I was there but I gained a lot of new knowledge and feel prepared for whatever future dispatch endeavors. You have an incredible program and it is very apparent why everyone speaks so highly of this program…
 
Thanks for all your help,
T.M.

Dear Ron:

As you know I have just started working for Comair Airlines as a flight dispatcher. Thank you for helping me get my certificate and providing me with all the job assistance in the form of the numerous job cards I have received. Since I graduated in April I have had 12 interviews and 7 job offers and decided that Comair would be the best place to begin my career. Please convey my thanks to Lynn for the excellent instruction she gave during my class. Coming from Sheffield I feel as though I had a thorough preparation to become a professional airline dispatcher. I also really appreciate the hard work of both Ellen and Eric in making everything possible.

Comair

Dear Ron: just a quick note to keep you updated on my whereabouts and new goals. I moved this past October from Wichita (and Ryan International Airlines) to Indianapolis, IN where I’m now dispatching for Emery Worldwide Airlines at the U.S. Postal Hub. After 7 months, I’ve just accepted a promotion to Supervisor of System Control over 5 guys my senior.

I still try to convince those considering dispatch school to do it right and go to Sheffield. I hope my name will continue to appear on your paperwork as a reference, as I feel that’s the least I can do for what the school has provided for me. Hope all’s well with you, Ellen, and Eric. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Best Wishes Always,
B.C.

Dear Ron and family,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff at Sheffield for the wonderful training I received. I came into your school having no formal background in aviation and I left with training that has afforded me the chance to go anywhere in this field. Your staff of instructors are top-notch, and are well known in the aviation industry. I had over 12 interviews and job offers around the country and every interview I went on I was told that they called because they saw I was trained at Sheffield. Sheffield is a very respected name in this business. I especially would like to thank Eric. He made the course not only interesting but fun. His experiences in the field added an insight into what we as dispatchers could expect. This is a very exciting career and I am certainly glad I chose to enter this field when I did.

I have been working for Universal Weather and Aviation almost six months and I work with six other Sheffield alumni. I have been exposed to more aircraft in this job than I probably would ever be anywhere else and I dispatch aircraft to places that I never imagined people flew to. I love what I do and enjoy the people I work with. What more could anybody ask from a job? Thank you again for the training that got me in the door and hired.

Yours Professionally, James “Dusty” Miller, 1996

Dear Eric,

Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for your help…on June 1st I begin employment as a Southwest Dispatcher. I feel this is due to the excellent training from Sheffield and your willingness to answer my questions even after my graduation. A student is only as good as his teacher and your and Sheffield are the experts in the dispatcher field.

Thank you again,

Theresa J.
