$125m bailout? Aren’t they foreign owned now? Oh well, Shelly and Rutherford made millions and millions out of Aerocare and then many more millions out of the sale of Aerocare to Swissport so at least their Sydney Harbourside mansions and bank balances are safe.

Perhaps it is more to highlight the lack of support provided by the govt to Ground Handlers whom provide a very large portion of staff to the Aviation Industry?
Ground Handlers have not recieved any assistance from the aviation industry relief package.

Another example of scum sucking corporate company headquartered in China, sub-headquartered in Switzerland, undercutting and hurting decent Australians.

Governance of Australia’s corporate landscape has been piss poor for decades and this is the result.

All those swissport guys were hands down the nicest and hardest workers at the drome, have some f*$king respect for these people who unloaded your plane, pushed them around (even after your at the pub) and then cleaned them all while working split shifts at the minimum wage and all most of them wanted to do was fly (a lot of them were freshly minted pilots) good luck swissporters...

It was a go at the corporations set up and used by major Australian companies purely to undermine workers rights, and the corporate governance in this country that allows it. As usual, the workers are the first to be screwed over while CEOs etc continue in the life to which they are accustomed.

That is not the point. I always greeted swissport workers with a polite smile and the respect they deserved. Yes, they did work hard and I acknowledged that. Your hippie perceived right to feel good about yourself doesn't help the situation for the workers and the their futures.

Is Rob ‘I love me’ Dalessio, ex VA, still at Swissport? If he is he will be pulling his last remaining hairs out! His Sister Elsa is Corporate at QF. Both love to ‘talk the talk’, but don’t expect them to ‘walk the walk’.

Muppet. You took the bait. Couldn’t really care whether you are him or not. ‘No doubt never met’’? Maybe. But then again, I do know a bit about him and his Sister don’t I....
