So I finally got my 777 certification. Headed from KLAX to YSSY. When I get to Sydney, I can fly my 737 to Melbourne and Brisbane. Those are the only 2 routes in Australia.

My Quesiton is... since I am headed down there, can a dispatcher assign routes in a smaller plane (Say a charter) to other smaller airports? If I want to jet set around the continent for a while, is there any way to make it count? If so, how?

A dispatcher cannot offer unscheduled flight legs. You can request in the Help Desk in advance charter flights provided that you have a purpose and complete set of continuous flight legs. A member of Staff will review the request. If request granted the staff member can then pre-approve the flights, which are valid for 14 days. The flights count as legs but are not eligible for promotion.

Regards,

Terry
