Don't do it LS...As previous posters have stated, its all a race to the gutter wether you get into the airline side or handling agent side. The clue is in the contract...its temporary so they can and will bin you after the Summer season.

25 years ago it was a good industry to be in, but most of the suits are now sucking it dry and the corpses are the front line staff taken for a ride because they've always wanted to work in this industry.

Even the flightdeck are getting shafted on their T+C's which is why most are off to the Middle East.

I've now moved on into the Oil/Gas/Minerals and Business Intelligence industry, which has been the best carrer move of my life. Very secure, very interesting and expanding at a rate of knots.

When you put that gallon of petroleum in your tank, smile, because you've just been scr3wed by me !!

Not bitter at all, had some good times, but reality bites and if you sign that contract, you better start looking for your next move or you'll be toast.
