STN Handling

[sat1]

Having removed the middle managers(DM's) do you not think that the way is clear for Menzies to buy out?Known fact that menzies dislike middle management positions.Interesting times ahead.

[TUGNBAR]

Aviance cleary removed the DM's to get the long servers out and pay scales down!
If anyone reading this has recently joined Aviance and your hoping for a long term career think again!!

Seems that BA cargo is leaving STN.Where will that leave the handling agent?

[TUGNBAR]

Is that handled by Servisair? What will that leave them?

[spirit of the age]

BA Cargo is leaving Stn for Manston-mid march.Load masters will still be based at Stn and travel to Manston as required.Massive blow for servisair with redundancies surely inevitable.It seems that an amalgamation of pax handling and cargo ramp work is the only logical option open.'Times they are a'changing'

[GRIZZLER]

times they are a changing

if true about ba ..yes things might change....but it will not be a new thing for servisair to run ramp and cargo together ,as they have done it before....when the terminal was north side it was a daily treck to cargo to do an offload...and it has been done since ....so nothing new for servisair.

[sat1]

what about the redundancies? which side of the operation?and how many?

[TUGNBAR]

So who or what was at fault with the recent "Aircraft to Equipment" incident leaving the aircraft tech and parked over the other side.

[Flightmech]

Hmmmm. Seen pictures of that one. Looks like the loader parked well within the silouette came off the better of the two.

[sat1]

who switched the agnis on?????

[TUGNBAR]

So AGNIS was switched off.

Does that mean the flight crew are at fault for coming on to stand un guided.

Or the ground crew for not switching the AGNIS on?

[sat1]

If the agnis is on surely that is telling the capt that its safe to proceed? Do you wait at traffic lights if the're green?

[GRIZZLER]

sat 1 and traffic lights

sat 1, you said do you sit at traffic lights when they are green.........my wife does.

Agnis incident..........

If the Agnis was not switched on then unless there was a marshaller present it was totally the fault of the crew for proceeding onto stand. The switching on of the unit is the indication to the pilot that it is safe to proceed.

BA /Global move to Manston................

It's not a done deal yet
