Swissport pay offer

OPS1978

I heard about your pay offer. Absoloutley disgusting!! I think its time for "EVERYBODY OUT!!"

You guys have nothing to worry about. If Swissport shuts down it doesnt mean your customer airlines are going anywhere. Also i have friends in very high places at BHX who reliably inform me that there is another handling agent waiting to come in. Currently they are biding their time just waiting for the right airlines to come their way. I can honestly say, this company will be better for you guys and are known for looking after the workforce and not demoralising it.

I Hope you are right and if its the same people i have heard is coming into bhx would jump ship straight away take Monarch,PK,Swiss,Turkmenistan. They will then leave swissport with the only airline tha counts to them "flybe" then hey maybe we can work back in a proper terminal T1.

Lets hope? The old groundastar staff need saving by someone we can trust.

Well now lets see, so far, as far as I'm awear
the only person who is intrested, works, or
tries to work in Load Control. Not the best choice...
Maybe managment at Swissport will be tempted to
"keep it in the family" I hope she gets it, should be
a laugh to see the performance, but will she take it?

I don't think she would have the bottle! or has she?
