One must wonder WHY a 4th Handler - history will repeat itself - OGDEN/BMH etc. - prices and quality south AGAIN - rumour has it that Swissport and GroundStar are the ones to bet on - Hope it is Swissport - at least they will not buy the business - GroundStar WELL does not MAN and STN speak in spades for them!!
It is about time that we airlines stop screwing the poor old handling agent and start paying for quality that we all demand but are not prepared to pay for.
As Handling accounts for than less that 3% of our total DOC's shoud we not give them a break and go after the 97% (yes, including our pay) and thus demand and pay (sic.) for a Quality Service. This will allow these "bottom of the food chain" (yes ,caterers as well) to eek out their just desserts (excuse the pun) and benefit aviation as a whole (re-investment etc.).
Comments expected and welcome????
