Well if NASA want the Space shuttle to come and land at STN who do you think will get the contract to offload it!!!!! Some how i don't think Servisair will,only because Aviance will under cut them(as usual) considering they have more blokes than Aircraft!

And as for BA i don't think Servisair will touch them with a barge pole !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how does this work then

servisair are undercut...nobody seems to like them....they lay the men off...another ground handling company employ the same men ...pay them less to do the same job only better.....strange.

tip of the week. there are plenty of jobs in poland now.

also if split shifts happen....we could spend four hours a day on here between jobs...cool

You done what had to be done LONE CHOCK....Srevisair are in some trouble now and i believe that in the near future the situation that the company has gone through will happen again and probably worse than before.
Who knows what they are trying to think of next in the ivory tower...oh yeah....shift changes.
As i was told by someone from servisair that they need to be implemented to try and make things run a bit smoother with in the ramp(hopefully but grizzler may not enjoy that).....And i take it that the company have finally got the 6 blokes that they needed for night shift(well almost) so good luck to them on the dead shift( i know)

Grizzler....and Smooth Runing Ramp.

not sure why you think i dont like a smooth running ramp... just because i like a GRIZZLE.......its just that some stls dont do smooth ......and with the amount of men that have been laid off i dont think the word smooth will ever be used on the ramp again.....starting from next week.......this is the beginning of the end.

Oh happy days of yesteryear...history shows....
Space shuttle.
Been there, done that, got the STN teeshirt for that one.
Servisair did used to be the #1 ground operator.
Oh happy days....

Hope it gets sorted for you all.

First Choice

Notice out from another company confirming they have won the contract at STN.

Where does this leave Servisair ?

Servisair redundancies Stn

Wozzel
Thank management thats rich,how many white shirts have been made redundant? all got good attendance have they?
If there was a problem with attendance good management would have sorted it before now.
This is a big cost cutting exercise thats why 30 hour contracts were offered.
When the summer season starts Servisair will take on a load of poles on worst contracts and sack them in October.
There were a lot of very skilled ,loyal, hard working people made redundant not lazy.
I hope all the all the people made redundant get fixed up with employment and those that are left good luck.

It looks pretty bleak from where i'm standing for Servisair at STN...Losing the FCA & TOM contract is one hell of a kick in the teeth for all the remainding ramp workers.....So i take it they are all of to work for Swissport(either side)

Had a little conversation with a person of the airport( but i won't say who ) and they had a meeting the other day only to be told that they are not down the road BUT have had a pay increase of 10% and another 5% to follow in June/July time...Well congrats to them... Maybe everyone should apply for a job there

Good luck to all that are or have left Servisair and may the road be happy and wealthy for them.
