With reference to your reply on A.S.C.I.L, possibley taking on Paddy and Tommy handling good luck to them.
Many years ago before your time i would say, British Airways had a stake in Paddy.
Your comment almost implys there may be some sour grapes floating around.
If outsiders do not know A.S.C.I.L. do what we call landside handling and Aviance do the airside.
Meaning A.S.C.I.L. do the passenger side and Aviance look after the baggage, aircraft cleaning and pushback.
Servisair did the airside handling until i think the end of March 2005.
Everybody when a contract comes up for renewal are looking not only at a good value for the job but not neccessary the cheapest bidder, so end the sermon.
