Hey Guys
Good Luck to you all when it happens. Operational wise it will depend from station to station how it works.
I'm in my 6th year and a ex pat working in CPH for Servisair. A very nice company over here with a VERY different set of goal posts. Servisair have had crazy ideas, they always have. I wont stop to say that only a small % of the "Thinkers and Idea makers" have the necessary experience to provide realistic ideas, the majority try to find new finical beneficial ideas but rarely stop to think about the workers.
Jut out of curiosity how many systems do you guys in the Uk work in? IN EDI it was 2, EI and Codeco. Here in CPH the dispatchers are the loadcontrolers, you are in complete control from the gate. The systems we have been trained on are of course Codeco, Gateon, FinCat, BA Babs and Swiss DCS. That's a lot of loadcontrol systems and entry's to remember.
I think we are one of only a few Servisair stations in Europe handling British Airways flights. We use CLC for these flights and its MUCH better than doing it yourself. If your station is setup well and your time limits are not tight it will work.
Good Luck to all you guys out there, I hope it works out for you. I cant see it working as Servisair is a mad dash last minute everything company compared to say a *Real* Airline
