Stansted handling
Seems like Air Berlin are going to move back from Satellite 2 to Satellite 1 after pressure from Servisair. I hear it could take place as soon as this weekend.

Air Berlin
How much truth is there in the rumour that that the air berlin contract at stn has finally been settled, and that it has been awarded to aviance?

A Thought??????
IF....airberlin do move to aviance and servisair gain 4u, will the 4u contract be sufficient to justify servisair staying on the ramp??? Or would they simply concentrate on the cargo side of things????

..Looking a bit like musical airlines and musical handling agents here at STN. I agree the Air Berlin story is finished, with them imbedded with Servisair in Sat 1. Germanwings are doing the contract rounds and the EZY/Menzies story is alive again.... Considering Aviance thought they had Balkan only to find Servisair chocking it , and we all thought we had Air Europa , guess it's a case of wait n see !!!!

Mothballing Sat 2 ???
Heard yesterday that STAL (BAA) loking at mothballing Sat 2 !! With Air Berlin moving to Sat 1 and pesumably FR retracting to Sat 3 there's only the few flts over there that Aviance do. Aviance have been asked to do the now once a week 9U from domestics (dual gate) on a Tuesday.

Interesting state of affairs re the industry in general..

Post 4U
it's official...
the 4U contract has gone to Aviance, to begin mid Jan 09...
the rumour I have heard is Swissport handed notice to 4U (before easyjet jumped to Menzies)...
as always the GHA's are running with the bare minimum number of staff which is never enough when CTOT's, offloads and DL93's screw up the schedule... whoever we (the bag monkeys) end up working, for the jobs stays the same just the name on the hi-vis thats changed!!

Im in the same boat as a lot of people here and a colleague who works in security in BRS summed it up nicely.

"Same Coffee, different label"

So fe11 your right in saying our jobs are secure, just means one day we will be wearing a servisair Hi Viz, the next a Menzies one.
