Career Dispatch

Career Dispatch is where Career assignments begin. Use it to generate or accept work for your current airline.

​
Before Dispatch unlocks

Dispatch usually requires an active carrier contract. Dispatch can be locked if:
  • You have no active employer.
  • You are still in training.
  • You have a pending contract to sign.
  • You are grounded by medical or compliance issues.
  • You have pending flights that must be handled first.
If Dispatch is locked, read the message shown in the app. It usually tells you what to fix.

​
Dispatch modes

Career Dispatch can include:
  • Itinerary generation.
  • Bid Board.
  • Reserve.
For the full specialized guides, see Career Bid Board and Career Reserve.

​
Itinerary generation

Itinerary generation builds Career assignments from your employer’s route network. FlyHub considers:
  • Your current airline.
  • Your current location.
  • Your employer fleet.
  • Your type ratings.
  • Your active training path.
  • Dispatch filters.
After generation, review the itinerary before accepting it.

​
Accept and file

Generated Career legs do not go straight to My Flights. They are filed to Calendar first. The normal flow is:
  1. Open Dispatch.
  2. Generate an itinerary.
  3. Review routes, aircraft, and warnings.
  4. Select aircraft if required.
  5. Click Accept and File.
  6. Open Calendar.
  7. Schedule the accepted assignments.
  8. Lock the roster.
  9. Open My Flights to start the dispatches.

​
Bid Board

Bid Board is a monthly route-ranking workflow. Use it when you want to submit preferred route lines. You select route lines and submit ranked choices. The app can require at least 20 selections and allow up to 30. Bid Board work is not the same as immediately booking a flight. It is a preference submission for later award processing. See Career Bid Board for the full seniority, selection, award, and bonus guide.

​
Reserve

Reserve lets you go on short-notice standby duty for Operations. While you are on reserve, Operations can call you for a random assignment. Calls are not guaranteed. When a call appears, you have a limited response window to accept it. Reserve calls can be Long Call, Standard, or Ready duty. Ready duty has the shortest report window. Accepted reserve calls use separate deadlines:
  • The response deadline is how long you have to accept the call.
  • The report/start deadline is how long you have to begin after accepting.
  • The route completion deadline is based on the expected route time, distance, multi-leg turns, and a completion buffer.
The Ready report window is not the time allowed to finish a long-haul or multi-leg route. If you start on time, FlyHub protects the active flight from being marked missed while you are still flying toward the route completion deadline. Accepted reserve assignments pay a higher hourly multiplier. The exact multiplier can depend on duty type and call details. Reserve calls can be single-leg or multi-leg assignments. Multi-leg calls are treated as one reserve call for reliability if the call is missed. After you accept, the assignment is sent to Calendar so you can schedule and lock it like normal Career work. If relocation is required, FlyHub may direct you to Jumpseat first. Some reserve relocation can be covered by the airline. See Career Jumpseat for the full repositioning guide. See Career Reserve for the full reserve duty guide. You cannot go on reserve if Career rules already block it. For example, reserve can be unavailable during training or when pending flights must be cleared first.

​
Fatigue warning

Career Mode can apply a fatigue scoring penalty when you fly too aggressively. Fatigue pressure uses real tracked flight time, recent Career activity, real-world rest, and sim-rate usage. High sim-rate usage can increase fatigue pressure when large Career duties are compressed into short real-world sessions. The dashboard shows your Pilot Condition, fatigue score, recovery timing, and main reason. There is no separate hard flight-count penalty; the warning exists so you can decide whether to slow down before fatigue pressure damages your own performance record. For examples and recovery details, see Career Fatigue.

​
Common mistakes

  • Expecting filed Dispatch legs to appear directly in My Flights.
  • Forgetting to schedule and lock assignments in Calendar.
  • Trying to use Bid Board while still in training.
  • Going on reserve without being ready to accept a call.
  • Staying on reserve without checking whether you can respond within the call window.
  • Treating the Ready report window as the time allowed to finish the whole route.
  • Selecting aircraft you are not rated or eligible to fly.
  • Ignoring warnings on generated routes.
