What actually is the job? What’s a day in the life of a dispatcher, and what are the things you do that may impact customer’s experience?

Very interesting! I know next to nothing about how an airline operates and assumed pilots handled their flight plans and such, so I’ll just keep asking things if that’s okay.

How are the flights you’re responsible for chosen? Do you have a region, or departures from a specific airport, maybe random assignment?

What all is handled by dispatch when you “plan up”? At what part of the flight does your responsibility start and end?
