To be fair, most handling agents are pretty similar these days in terms of shift patterns, money etc. Alba handle Flyglobespan and Virgin and generally are checking in from 0300 until around 2100, so Id imagine your shifts will cover this. I think some agents do 4 x 12hours and then 4 off. The handling agent who has been most consistent at GLA is Servisair without a doubt as they handle most airlines that operate from GLA and since Menzies only hanlde Easyjet, Aer Lingus and SouthEast Airlines. Aviance handle BA, Zoom, Monarch and some seasonal charter airlines. I dont think Alba or Aviance pay sick pay if you are off, but I know that there are some decent people who work for for either Alba or Aviance.
