To be fair though, I am sure we can all remember sh*t elements of every trade. The movers bless their cotton socks are at the front of the crowd in terms of pax interface, I find most of our issues come down to one problem - lack of or poor communication.

The movers do a fantastic job with the kit they have and the training they have too. I have been really impressed by the effort the guys put in, not least the oggies despite having minimal training and useless kit, manage to get the job done in tough conditions, with minimal rest. Work your guys 3 months in a row on continuous nights, sleeping in accom with poor air con through the day and guess what, people will make mistakes.

Whilst it may be fun to have a them and us, I would be alarmed if someone read this thinking that this was the opinion of every mover or aircrew mate, it is most certainly not.
