I would like to thank you for that wonderful Dispatch School of Yours. With no previous aviation experience, I went to your school. It was great. Gary is the best teacher I have ever met. Right out of school, I went to work as a Dispatcher for Austin Express Airlines in Austin, Texas. 6 months later, I have just been offered a job with Continental Express. Thanks a bunch. I couldn't have done it without you.

 I just wanted to check in and say hello. Your school was a great experience for me.

Ironically, I have never dispatched an aircraft. I started to go through dispatch ground school here at Mesa Airlines only to be offered a different and slightly better paying position. The position was station training. For over a year I traveled to more than 60 cities and ultimately became responsible for all fuel vendor training nationwide. I still organize the fuel training but four months ago I became an Internal Auditor.

Now I research safety issues and continue to travel the U.S., Canada, and Mexico auditing and looking after the safety of Mesa's customers and employees. There is no way I would have gained this most recent position without my Aircraft Dispatchers License as a credential.

Thanks for the great experience I had attending your school. Please say hello to Terri, Gary, Axle, and all of the staff. If there is ever something I can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,
Joe Crelier

Greetings from Andrews Air Force Base. I heard my friend, Rick, is attending your course after I recommended your school. He'll do well. I served with Rick over in Saudi on and off for 4 years while stationed at Patrick AFB, FL.

I start at NWA as a Flight Officer on 27 March 2000. During the interview, everyone commented "positively" about my Dispatcher Certificate --so it helped me! You can buy me some BBQ next time I'm in Dallas. Best wishes to you, Gary and the whole gang!

One year goes by from my graduate, and this 1999 is a year of satisfaction. I get my first job only after 2 weeks from my return to Italy, the first one like handling supervisor in the new airport of Milan Malpensa, in February. I had start my career like Dispatch in Air Europe, a charter and schedule carrier, which operate with B767-777 and A320 on the domestic route. Now, I had a good contract with Gandalf, a small airline that operate with DO328 turboprop and jet. I'm very happy to work for them. Is like a big family.

So, here my carrier can grow better than in a big airline like was Air Europe. The life of an Italian Dispatch is very different from an American one. Here you are both Dispatch and Flight Operation Control. That means a heavy job in some situation, no time. Here you can work for more than 12-13 hours a day, and the salary is the half than in the USA. But, I don't take care about it, the important is, that with your school, I get the job of my life! So, Gary here in Italy, the summer is going to finish. Last weekend to the seaside and after ski for all the winter. Remember that if you came in Italy you have someone that wait you in the airport. Thank you for changing my life for the best.

I wanted to let you all know what a wonderful experience your Six Week Dispatcher course was. I've always known becoming an aircraft dispatcher was high on my list of goals, and your program made that happen very quickly and easily. I learned a tremendous amount with Gary as an instructor, and Terry is a fabulous organizer and job seeker pro! I couldn't have asked for more hospitality from all of you!

All but one of the airlines I sent my resume to wanted to interview me, and all of the interviews I did conduct, resulted in a job offer. The most difficult part of the whole six weeks was deciding which job to take! I'm happily settled (for the moment) in Harrisburg, PA working for Allegheny Airlines, a US Airways Express carrier. It was the closest I could get to my family in Maine, and I can fly there, and all over the world for pennies! My job can be challenging at times with thunderstorms, fog and dealing with the New York corridor, but I'm confident that I have the knowledge, thanks to you, to handle it all safely.

Thanks again for all your effort. It was an experience I will never forget!

Sincerely,

Laelia Morton
