Its not much to ask you to get on with what you are paid to do is it?
I think you may have misinterpreted the quote here - this was aimed at Joe Bloggs being asked by Thomas Cook to collect complaints from the other passengers (like a PRO is asked to do), not the building of baggage pallets. Quite rightly this is a job the Movers do...

As for the Mover featured on the website (the lovely Katie) - she actually PVR'ed and got out the Mob about 5 years ago due to being disillusioned with the way things were going!!! You couldn't make it up - I wonder if she knows she may be responsible for selling the trade to people still!!

Can just add that the post made above from Wyler is spot on - at least someone on here "gets" it...
