BA Ramp - LGW
Has anyone heard how the outsourcing of the ramp handling by BA in LGW went?

I'm sure it was due to have taken place on the 1st Oct and I haven't seen any comments. Fingers crossed all went smoothly and continues to do so.

Regardless of whether it's Servisair/Menzies/Swissport, paying people under £8p/h turns everyone into monkeys
