Doesn't surprise me one bit.. Staff needs optimised... having people run around only performing one task such as chocks.. pushback only (in which some people have it worked out that they can sleep for 4 hours at a time..).. lifting crew bags only followed by heavy newspaper reading and the odd trip to deliver 4-10 bags then back to the baggage bay.... im not shocked at all about it
They did advertise 6-10 full time ramp jobs in the first week of October, although closing date may have went by already
Some Companies Pushbacks , only do Pushbacks and towing , because they don't have the time to do anything else !!! ie : too busy ..., but then again i can see why Aviance were in such dire straits , too many supervisors ( ramp team leaders ) , too many Allocaters , most of which are on regular O/T ... , and far too many Mangers , and the staff go tom and dick at regular intervals , but if i wasn't losing money doing it , i'd do the same ....
