CLP
OK.
Back to basics then: i was a traffic officer for almost 4 years. Day in/out on the Ramp only(including VS flts). You have PAX svcs agent on the a/c negotiating boarding time with the Purser. You have cargo agent outside supervising loading(who by the way very often will do your job and call CLP for any issues regarding loading, while you are upstairs chatting and sipping coffees).
I am not defending D-plan(altough the new version is meant to be The Thing!!) or the novices in CLP or trying to say that one needs a degree to be able to do the job...
All i was trying to say is and I don't know why you are so scared to admit it - is the fact that LHR traffic officer job boils down to make sure the Skipper got his l/sheet and the jetty is on/off.
It is not the question that you/they can't do the load planing...and it might even happen one day.
The question was that instead of whinging about CLP and their mistakes you should be pro-active in trying to sort them out instead of causing a delay, just to prove a point!!!
I will repeat this again in case you didnt hear me the first time:
LHR is the only station in the whole VS network that there is a problem between CLP and VS Traffic(not everyone - there are few cool ones).
The fact speaks volume by itself.
I am an ex-Aviance anyway, so i don't really care that much as i have moved out of aviation but ...when i read all this stories and see all these bitter Traffic Officers it does make me laugh!
You all have too much time to waste here whinging and whinging.
It's all done probably in between sending VS e-mails to each other coz you are all so upsest with it!
Once again chaps,
get out...get girlfriends....get lives!!!
....and b4 any1 says anything - i am at work...very quite...bored...hence me being here!!!!
