when you get low pay....flat rate o/t...and a bonus that you will never be able to get as long as you have got a hole in your rear......your hardly going to loose sleep at night thinking i must get the bags to the undercroft faster...i dont think so.
But its about time that ground handling agents realize what a very responsible job we do on the ground....we are not just bag rats...lowest of the low ,dirt on somebodys boot.....we have peoples lives in our hands...we are the last people to see the aircraft before it becomes airborn....who makes sure the doors and hatches are closed,pins are out,bags are loaded correctly and de.icing done....we do.
I think it's ridiculous how low paid most people on the ground are paid
I can't think of any other jobs where your in charge of a £150million+ piece of equipment and your paid only a quid or two over the minimum wage working at all times and in all conditions
