I just wanted to write you again and thank you for the quality training that I received at your school.

In November of ’98, I graduated from Sheffield and two months later began employment at Big Sky Airlines in Billings, MT. After getting signed off to release aircraft on my own I wrote you a letter thanking you. I still enjoy visiting your site and reading the excerpt you used from that letter.

Today I have even better news. On January 3, I was promoted to Dispatch Manager of Big Sky Airlines. Overseeing 6 full-time dispatchers, two full-time crew schedulers, and over 30 flights daily with over 100 trip segments is something that only Sheffield could have prepared me for.

I just have a hard time putting into words what a truly awesome and challenging experience this last year has been. Almost every day we are challenged by weather, reroutings, crew conflicts, MEL and DMI issues. The dispatch team here works on these issues together to formulate the best solution to each situation. The main reason we work so well as a team is that we are almost 90% Sheffield Alumni.

Thanks again for your training and for providing me with such a well prepared team of dispatchers.
