Been a VERY busy bunny so not had the chance to check the thread recently......

But anyway..... so on this particular occasion you had a complaint about the handling agent I believe. Not the airline who as I am sure you know are a sub contractor to the airline.

So who's wages exactly do you pay at the sub-contractor? Maybe you paid the wages of the person on duty who was out of sight trying to figure out the problem. Indeed perhaps your vast cash injection to the company could have bought the bog roll or coffee.

Not that, that should detract from the fact that you actually don't pay any wages at airline or handling agent.....period.

You.... buy a service from a company.

I don't post very much because I find it very dificult to join in on what is normally is a (our handling is better than your handling) issue. When will everyone realise that all agents are in the same boat and fighting against the ever so right types as PIK3141.

Sack the girl/boy/man/woman who made the call at the gate or is this really what PIK wants. The days of boarding and sending the ready message should return but at what cost?

This person did the best that they could on the day. Come on PIK state your colours and when did you last deal with (if ever) a slot delay at the gate facing people like yourself.

Good on you all and try and stick together instead of infighting. This is one thread that you have all won.
