If the Dispatcher moves the Troubleshooter by Direct Flight, is the card kept?

No. The Dispatcher is moving the pawn with his own movement powers, so the Dispatcher discards his own card. The no-discard benefit applies only when the Troubleshooter is the player spending the actions, for instance with Special Orders to Direct Flight another pawn. In that case she reveals one of her own cards rather than discarding it, and each such flight still costs an action.
