Welcome to the Airline Dispatcher FederationWelcome to the new Airline Dispatcher Federation website. Thank you for being patient while we developed our new site. We created the new site with the ADF member in mind by adding “Members Only” features such as weather links, job postings, jumpseat updates, and a message board. We are also utilizing the public section to better educate people who might not know a lot about the Dispatch profession by posting pictures, and providing an inside look at how the Dispatcher plays a pivotal role in his or her airlines daily operation.
Please check the new site often for all the latest ADF news, meeting information, and site updates. If there is anything you would like to see added or if you have any dispatcher/airline pictures or memorabilia that you would like to share with us, please email them to

ADF Responds to Media Reports about Dispatchers Shorting Fuel on Flights: Due to record high oil and fuel prices all airlines are facing enormous financial burdens. However, there have been inaccurate reports in the media accusing airlines and dispatchers of shorting flights of fuel. The ADF has addressed this issue with the following letter . Patrick Smith of askthepilot.com and salon.com has also written a great article on this issue.
Letter from ADF's President, Adam Giraldes: Fellow ADF members, sponsors, and vendors, I am honored to be the newly elected President of this great association. I’m proud to follow the previous leaders that have navigated the ADF over the years, in the right direction. Former leaders of the ADF have continuously educated others on the significance and value of our vocation. As we, the new executive board, take the controls of this organization, the education and promotion of our profession will continue. ADF’s positions will continue to be heard by a wide range of organizations, agencies, and individuals. ADF will remain a nimble organization educating and responding to the evolution of the industry and profession . | | | A few of our current goals: |
- Meet the new and current members in the F.A.A, Congress, NTSB, TSA, and other agencies with direct involvement of our profession, and industry, educating them on our roles and responsibilities. As to build a strong working relationship with them. We will ensure the regulatory requirements of dispatchers are not lost in the technological advancements being presented to the various agencies and airlines.
- ADF’s website is being redesigned with the help of Brandon Caple, Brad Irwin both from Continental Airlines, and helping us migrate the website will be Joe Barrington from BLR Group. Our friends at BLR Group have hosted the website for many years and I want thank them for all their help and support.
