Did anyone else get a second interview for this position??

Any more info regarding the actual job. Is it load control / dispatch ( so that you are doing the turnaround) or is it more of a sitting a the gate kinda job. Also any info on the type of interview they are doing? Any info is much appreciated!

I know that their whole traffic department had to reapply for their jobs. Was called traffic now called Turnaround Coordinator. Not sure what their feelings are on the matter.

Didnt get to the second interview, not sure what they are really after...

Load control is done from LGW.

Think its a more watching over the flight turnaround kind of role.

First interview is a group one. They gave you an excercise to do and then present as part of a group.

Then they gave you a choice of situations. You were asked to pick one and say what your actions would be in this situation.

Second interview was an individual one. They asked you about various scenarios in your work history.

Is it their own load control or does a vendor look after it???

I had heard there was a central load planning section at LGW provided by Gatwick Handling (or whatever they are called these days).
