I haven't seen any menzies equipment come in and they start on the 1st of May. I don't expect they're getting Servisair equipment. Servisair are giving Menzies as little help with the change over as possible (so i've heard!!).

Equipment

Servisair couldnt give their equipment away at Gatwick !!!!!!

I am dam sure that Menzies would have nothing to do with it !!!!

Most of their Managment are ex Servisair in some form and have probably been moaning about it for years anyway

How do you mean tallseabird?

There has been rumours that Easyjet will now be mostly operating from the remote stands as all the pier stands are taken by all the other handling agents.

Just realised that the above sounded a bit like the fast show when I read it back to myself!!

PSA

I have an interview with Menzies tomorrow for a PSA position at LGW. What are menzies like to work for and what is their pay like? I used to work for KGS at LHR so it may be a big change for me.

PSA

GOOD LUCK AS A PSA YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT! AS FAR AS I CAN SEE THE MAJORITY OF PSA'S WILL BE UNEXPERIENCED WITH LITTLE WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF THE EASYJET PRODUCT. ALSO THE FIRST LINE OF MANAGEMENT HAVE LITTLE SUPERVISORY EXPERIENCE THEMSELVES. TIME WILL TELL!!
