HI
WITH REGARDING THE FIRST FEW POINTS MADE WITH ABOUT RUMORS IN THE INDUSTRY, I WORK AS DISPATCH AND LOAD CONTROL AT SOU AND THE CONTRACT WITH AVIANCE IS NOW UP FOR GRABS, GLOBE FLEW IN TODAY AND G* ARE INTERESTED. MY PERSONAL OPINION AVIANCE, EVEN THOUGH THEY CURRENTLY HAVE STILL 29% OF THE MARKET SHARE, ARE GOING TO LOSE MANY MORE STATIONS MAINLY DUE TO THE CURRENT LOCAL AND NATIONAL PAY DISSPUTES. ALSO THE FACT THAT THEY CANNOT LOOK AFTER THEIR STAFF, IN MY EXPERIENCE, KEEPS MORAL LOW AND FLIGHTS STRUGGLING TO DEPART ON TIME. ALSO THEY ARE TRYING TO CHANGE TO CENTRALISED LOAD PLAN ACCROSS ALL THEIR STATIONS, MEANING LOAD SHEETS ARE PRODUCED IN MY CASE LGW. THIS IS KEEPING STAFF IN JOBS IN LGW CUTTING COSTS AND CREATING MONEY AS AIRLINES ARE NOW PAYING DOUBLE, DISPATCH AND LOAD CONTROL. STILL CLP AT SOU IS TOTALLY CR** AND DELAYS MORE FLIGHT THAN GO ON TIME. THIS ALL POINTS TOWARDS AVIANCE HAVING NATIONAL STRIKES AND ANGRY AIRLINES SO KEEP AN EYE ON SOU.
AND WITH REGARD TO AF, AT SOU THEY ARE AMUSING. THEY PUSH LATE AND CALL UP REQUESTING OFF ON TIME. THIS IS REGULAR SO IT LOOKS GOOD ON YOUR RECORD. ALSO IF THEY GIVE ANY UNJUSTIFIED HASSLE JUST TAKE THE LOAD SHEET AND WALK THEY WILL SOON LEARN.
ENJOY CHRIS
