    It really depends on if you really mean "dispatcher", this is a legally required position for US airlines, the person share joint operational responsibility with the Captain to ensure that the aircraft is dispatched legally and safely, and to provide a flight following service to ensure that this level of safety is maintained throughout the flight. You need a license to hold this position.

    You attended an interview for a job you didn't know much about :eek:

    You may well be genuine but that seems odd. Anyway as smurfjed said it can really be 2 very different jobs i.e., a dispatcher/red cap or an FOO/flight planner. I can give you plenty of info on the latter role if you want? If its a flight ops position I suspect it's a flight planner job.
