Podcast: Growing Professionally as a Scheduler & Dispatcher

Aug. 7, 2023

Working as a scheduler or dispatcher is a significant time commitment. Nevertheless, it’s important for those working in the field to allocate time to further their education and career potential by earning accreditations and certifications. Not sure where to start? Nick Van de Sompele suggests “joining a regional or national group, such as Women in Aviation International or NBAA, [which] provides an opportunity to connect with other aviation professionals. You can look at what they’re doing to advance their own careers and use that [information] to apply to yourself.”

In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:

  • Ashley Daniel, executive travel team member at MassMutual – LinkedIn | Facebook
  • Nicholas Van De Sompele, CAM, operational analyst for Northern Jet – LinkedIn | Facebook
