Ramp Staff
I" think it's more to do with the holiday flight programs rather than cargo flights hence the 3 month contract."
Actually it is more to do with cargo than passenger.
10 additional ramp staff are being sought at the moment to allow freight to be built 24 hrs a day.
This is a sign that the increase in freight handling is not just a blip, but a steady and expected increase.
The 3 month contract, seems to be the way to get in the door at the moment.
Most of the staff that have been taken on over the last 12 months, started on a 3 month short term contract.
A "cargo ramp agent" is a job decription for someone trained to work on the "ramp" ( ground handling services )
Which may include building freight, general warehouse duties and all that is involved in the turn around of aircraft.
