E46: A Chat with Dispatch: Pilot Questions Asked and Answered

Release Date:

On this episode of Engage, we welcome Mr. Jim Starnes from Delta Flight Control Dispatch to discuss all things Dispatch-related. Did you know Delta Dispatchers are union members represented by the Professional Airline Flight Control Association (PAFCA)? Jim Starnes is the First Vice President of PAFCA and discusses the many similarities between pilots and dispatchers: commonly addressed issues with management, contract negotiations, seniority, and even bidding for monthly schedules—we have more in common with our Dispatchers than we may know. Host First Officer Ryan Argenta also asks common questions pilots have for Dispatch and learns more about our unseen siblings in Atlanta. Jim even offers pilots the opportunity to coordinate a tour of Flight Control Dispatch by contacting him directly—details within. Tune in to learn about this fascinating profession and how we can work together with our fellow employees on the ground. (Recorded December 14, 2023)
