The Dispatcher pays for flights with his own cards, and the moved pawn does not gain his powers. Only the four standard movement actions are available, so he cannot trigger the Operations Expert's special move. Abilities that trigger on arrival for the moved pawn, such as the Medic or Containment Specialist, still happen. The same applies when the Special Orders event moves a pawn, and the mover's other role abilities, such as the Field Director's bonus move, do not come along.
