I think it has more to do with the fact that Swissport are doing such a brilliant job with flybe's(BHD) turnarounds. Word must have spread amongst passengers and they are queing up to get on flybes handled by swissport!!!

bhd and muppets
 

Legalize (probably the drugs you taking)

If swissport are dispatching the bhds then it will probably be down to 5 a day as you will probably ground at least 1 of the a/c on the bhd sector by pranging it :)

and as for pax, they will want to stay clear as the likely hood of receiving there baggage is probably 0, after you lot have handled it.

The War Goes on in earnest!!!!

You seem to be the only muppet on here. We have the occasional problem with Flybe's but nothing more than you would expect with the number of flights and the number of bags missing flights is negligable, probably a lot less than missed them in your days. If you are going to slag us off you can at least get you facts straight, but then again you do work for aviance;)

sarcasm
 

it is not an attack, but just a laugh on here to see that we all make mistakes. I aint serious in any of the posts,:) just seems to be the only news we get in this drab airport. :bored:

BACON is now BACOFF - BHX-BHD route is being dropped from 21st AUG!! FLYBE win again......

We don't have time for sasrcasm in this office any more, well not since you lot were careless enough to lose flybe:(

Well said mate. I agree with you.
I cant say who I am as in my position I cannot be seen to be showing favouritism towards any handling agent but I must admit I have a soft spot for swissport. I admire the way you have coped from day 1 with minimum staff, training and equipment. With all these setbacks I see your staff walking around the ramp, terminal, sitting outside starbucks having a crafty fag and around the airport with there heads held high and always in good spirits.
And even if you do have a few bumps now and again it gives me (sorry , did I say ME!!!!) i mean BIA, something to do to help pass the time. It keeps us AWAKE!!!!
Well done swissport..keep it up

That is a very idiotic statement to make.:ugh:

So inconveniencing Hundreds/thousands of people, costing an airline Thousands of pounds, causing damage to aircraft keeps you awake and passes the time.You really do need to get out more.

Next time it happens go and pass your comments to the airline personnel and passengers!!!!!!!.

If you are bored and like seeing damage,go get a job banger racing fool!

Bird strikes also cause major delays!!! Next you will be suggesting that the birds go and apologise to the passengers as well...Accidents will always happen mate..What about the feelings of those poor banger cars!!! You'r so inconsiderate

Ever heard of the phrase "people in glass houses"? If anyone needs to get out more I think it would probably be you. We would love to sit here and pick holes in everything that aviance does wrong but we are a little more mature than that. If you want to take pot shots try it on Jet Blast, not here.

people slagging swissport
 

the only reason people are constantly slagging swissport off is prob they couldnt get a job with us so had to make do with 2nd best........

A friend of mine tells me that some aviance dispatchers are desperate to jump ship and come to swissport. The only thing that stopped the move was the change of management at swissport.

Legalize
Bird stikes can cause delays I agree, But its not a birds stupidity that makes it hit the aircraft.
Bird strikes cannot be avoided but people driving or pushing ground equiptment into aircraft and damaging them can be avoided.How many times to you see baggage trucks,belt loaders speeding around the ramp,with jokers playing tunes on the horn,its that kind of mentality within some people that causes accidents to aircraft and ground equiptment.
Iv'e seen aviance,swissport, serviceair and catering trucks all hit aircraft with ground equiptment and heard the excuses,"it moved on its own,brakes didnt work,dunno what happened etc etc".Most of the accidents are caused by people not taking care and being stupid.
I'm sure if you go and tell passengers your gonna be delayed because someone hit the aircraft with steps,belt loader etc and say "And even if you do have a few bumps now and again it gives me (sorry , did I say ME!!!!) i mean BIA, something to do to help pass the time. It keeps us AWAKE!!!!" there gonna be thrilled to bits. But tell them that the aircraft's had an unavoidable bird strike I'm sure they will be more understandable about the delay.

I am not employed by a handling agent so I have no bias or gripe towards any of them!

BMIBaby to Durham now bookable online, guess it's close to Scotland!

No? You've got plenty to say about them and I bet you have no idea about the conditions they have to work in. Low pay, short staffed, and equipment that isn't always in the best of health, out in all sorts of weather, having to rush from flight to flight with no breaks. It doesn't matter who they work for its always the same. Vehicles do become faulty when they are in use all day every day, people do make mistakes when they have been running around like lunatics all shift trying to keep up and keep delays down. I would challenge you to go and tell them they are being careless or stupid, I wouldn't be in a hurry to place a bet on how long you would stay on your feet.

baby and dtv
 

Not bookable on baby site

bmibaby have flown to Durham for a long time now.

dtv
 

not from bhx you muppet.

my mate
 

:hmm: :hmm:
NAMES PLEASE!!! and the reason for management was.... oh yes underperforming station

My mate told me you chat **** but thats another question.


You'll now be taking a PPRuNe break bazzab68. Play the ball instead of the man.

Didn't bmiBabyFC say it was an airport where Baby had not flown to or from before (I took that to mean generally, & not just related to BHX). As they have a presence at Teesside already, wouldn't that rule DTV out.

Any word yet?
