Racasanman (blue tinged) & the rest
Ramp awareness is a priority as we all know. Back in the days when places (in the UK) like LGW, BHX, MAN etc., were very busy if we had more than 30 movements per day. As we spent all our time involved in other aspects of the operation, just the ramp (marshaling, steps, honey cart, pot water, tug, gpu, bulk loading etc) got our attention most all the time. After that most of us went back to other duties. Things have now changed. I agree with "Racasanman" ( how many people have had a racasan shower?), ramp/ground ops staff are under valued, under paid, but does that give them a reason not to be as professional as they should be proud of being. If not ,get rid of them, they can be/will be a blight on the industry.
FYI, I was the best honeycart man LGW ever, in the mid 60s, within 3 years I was in NBO running an operation!
