If I were you guys try your absolute hardest not to be late or call in sick during your 6 month probation. Obviously if you really are sick or stuck in traffic then you can't help that but if it's just because you've had a late night grit your teeth and get on with it.

You may get kept on but if they decide to extend your probation another 3 months (like they did with me) you'll be earning less for that time so do your best for that first 6 months! After that I guess the pressures off a bit but they do keep a close eye on that sort of thing so best behaviour!

Don't get yourself labelled as work shy or lazy LISTEN to what you're told and LEARN from your mistakes and you'll do just fine. In time you can prgress to team assistant or maybe even shift sideways into Despatch or Ops like me!

As with all jobs it's what YOU make of it. There will be people who will tell you that Servisair is rubbish etc etc. but although there may be SOME aspects of the company where improvements could be made, you'll be working on the whole with a geat bunch of people who do enjoy what they do. Don't let those who may not get you down, you know what you want from this job, whether it's a career or simply a foot in the Aviation door, it's up to you to go get it now. Those who don't like it should get on with it quietly or leave or maybe best of all try and implement those changes they feel are so desperately needed!

Finally:

Shift work can be tough; try and see the good points, like shopping midweek with no queues or missing the rush hour.

Passengers can make you mad; don't let one or two idiots make you do something you regret. We're not talking murder here but the wrong thing said to the wrong person could cost you your job.

Respect others you work with and learn from them; the airport attracts some real characters, some with incredible backgrounds and superb stories to tell. Listen and learn it's fab!
