Description
Remote Flight Scheduling Coordinator for Disney Learning and Development
A Role That Takes You Higher
Imagine working on something that connects magic with movement. That’s what this job is all about. As a Remote Flight Scheduling Coordinator for Disney Learning and Development, you’ll be at the center of organizing flights that keep Disney’s teams connected across the globe. Sure, you’ll book flights—but more than that, you’re piecing together schedules, watching out for crew safety, and making sure Disney’s training programs don’t miss a beat.
And yes, let’s be upfront—the annual salary is $64,714. But what you’ll get is the chance to make a mark in aviation and coordination while being part of Disney’s mission of growth and storytelling.
Why This Role Matters
Disney isn’t only about the big screen. Behind every program, workshop, and training session, there’s a network of people who need to get from one place to another—often across time zones. Without smooth flight operations, things can grind to a halt. That’s where you step in.
Here, you’ll manage flight itineraries, handle crew schedules, and ensure airline compliance and safety standards are never compromised. In many ways, you’re the quiet connector—the one making sure all the moving pieces line up.
Inside a Coordinator’s Day
Wondering how your day will shape up? Let’s walk through it.
- Morning Check-In: Sometimes you’ll find yourself reviewing overnight updates, from changes in pilot and crew roster coordination to last-minute travel alerts. Some mornings are smooth sailing, others throw you a curveball—but that’s what keeps the job interesting.
- Flight Schedule Optimization: Using advanced aviation scheduling software expertise, you’ll tweak itineraries to cut down on delays and balance crew hours.
- Cross-Functional Travel Team Collaboration: On other days, your focus shifts to jumping on calls with HR, trainers, and sometimes even Disney talent. Everyone needs to be where they should be, on time.
- Emergency Flight Rescheduling Procedures: Picture this—weather grounds a flight, and a group of trainers are stranded in Denver. You’re the one to get them moving again, fast.
- Crew Time and Duty Compliance Monitoring: Aviation rules are strict for good reason. You’ll keep track so no one exceeds safe working hours.
Tech and Tools Behind the Flights
You won’t just be clicking “book flight.” This is a role that leans heavily on technology and quick thinking. You’ll use:
- Specialized aviation scheduling software expertise for building out rosters.
- Dashboards for remote aviation operations support.
- Real-time systems that alert you when schedules clash or compliance issues pop up.
One of our coordinators likes to say, “It feels like playing Tetris—except the blocks are pilots, flights, and deadlines.”
Stories from the Team
Here’s a small win. A few months back, one of our coordinators noticed that a group of Disney trainers had overlapping travel with a big project launch. Instead of just splitting them across multiple flights, she worked on flight schedule optimization to get everyone routed efficiently. Not only did they arrive on time, but the company saved thousands in travel costs. That’s the kind of problem-solving we cheer for here.
And yes—sometimes emergencies happen. One of our coordinators handled a last-minute emergency flight rescheduling procedure when a snowstorm hit the Midwest. Within an hour, the new plan was live, and no sessions had to be canceled.
Skills That Make You Shine
You don’t have to be a pilot to thrive here, but you do need a sharp eye and steady hands. What helps?
- A natural knack for remote aviation resource planning.
- Comfort working with time zones and global travel coordination for Disney staff.
- Clear communication is essential, because you’ll be balancing requests from all sides.
- Quick problem-solving—sometimes under pressure.
It’s less about checking every box and more about being able to step up when things shift fast.
Your Career Flight Path
Think of this role as your runway—many coordinators here have gone on to senior remote airline operations support, aviation logistics, or corporate travel leadership. If you’re looking for career opportunities in flight coordination, this is a strong lift-off point.
We’ll back you with mentorship, online training, and a team that celebrates wins together. Remote doesn’t mean isolated—we’ve got regular huddles, check-ins, and even virtual coffee chats to keep the team spirit alive.
The Disney Spirit in the Air
What makes this different from any other scheduling job? It’s the Disney touch. Every flight you manage, every crew you schedule, plays a part in something bigger—Disney’s learning and development programs. You’ll be helping trainers reach teams, leaders connect with staff, and big ideas spread across borders.
Think about it: without your work, some of those programs wouldn’t happen. You’re the spark behind the curtain.
What We’re Hoping You’ll Bring
We don’t believe in rigid checklists, but here are a few things that help people thrive in this role:
- Some background in airline crew scheduling support or logistics.
- Familiarity with airline compliance and safety standards.
- Confidence in juggling multiple moving parts at once.
- Comfort with tech tools, dashboards, and aviation platforms.
- A love for finding calm in the middle of chaos.
Even if you don’t have it all, if you’re excited about what you’ve read so far, you’ll likely fit right in.
Culture and Connection
Working remote doesn’t mean working alone—we stay connected with quick huddles, lighthearted chats, and even the occasional virtual coffee break. That sense of virtual aviation coordination keeps us aligned, even if we’re in different time zones.
It’s not just about flights—it’s about people. And that starts with how we treat each other.
Paycheck and Perks at Disney
You’ll earn $64,714 annually. But beyond the paycheck:
- Remote setup that gives you flexibility.
- A supportive team that knows how to handle high stakes.
- Access to Disney’s internal learning platforms.
- Growth opportunities in aviation and Disney corporate travel management.
What Success Looks Like
Your success isn’t about the number of flights—it’s about making the whole process feel seamless for the people counting on you.
- Trainers arrive where they need to be without stress.
- Crew time and duty compliance monitoring are always in check.
- Flights are optimized, delays minimized.
- Emergencies get handled before they become disasters.
When people say, “That trip went perfectly,” that’s your win.
