Kittyhawk,

Not sure if you are still out there, but I checked with friends at UAL and they have never heard of you. Amazing!!!!

ss9e, if it's taking more than an hour to complete one scheduled international flight release, something is wrong (unless you're dealing with a primitive flight planning system). If it's a non-sched adhoc flight that's a different deal if you're having to obtain overflight permits at the time of departure. That can actually take some time. The actual planning process is still fairly straight forward.

add north korean missile dodging to the list of things to check before releasing flights...

Well, overall that was some very entertaining reading. There were quite a few good points made and some pretty useless bantering going on as well. I work for a regional as well and I have to say that on some days, yes, this job is quite easy. You always have and always will have far more good days that you will bad, but its those bad days that can test you mentally. I love a good line of level 4/5 tstorms stretching from dtw all the way back to iah and you have to figure out how to get your flight out to dsm. Makes for quite the challenge sometimes(trust me I don't want this scenerio all the time). Every once in a while is fine for me.

I for one love the dispatching job and have no major beefs with my company. Of course I would love to make a little more cash come payday but who wouldn't? Luckily, I have a sugar momma who makes way more than I do! Woo hoo

Dispatching at a regional is a friggin cake walk compared to 'spatching at a 121 Int'l flag carrier. BIG BIG learning curve when I came over to the dark side... Sure, you have 65-70 flights, but I'll take my 8-12 per shift. 1 international flight=10 boring A-B domestic regional flights.
