Have to say as bad as I feel for people having their Christmas travel plans disrupted, they do have my support.
The way that ground handling companies these day treat their staff is appalling. As somebody else has already mentioned you can get paid the same to work in McDonald but have zero responsibility in comparison to a dispatcher or load controller on £9ish an hour.
In a similar way to the hounding that BA has received over the working conditions of their mixed fleet crew and strike action in both the press and in online forums etc, I hope the way that ground handling companies operate gets some exposure too.
Just my two cents.
