I see that the BHX operations shift manager lasted long.........it seems strange that when ever anybody in a managers role joins Swissport they only last a few months before they tuck tale and run.

The best before sell by date of a SP manager is normally about 6 months. Unfotunately AS's expiry date was up and he did a runner. I hear they have a new opertaions manager but not sure who it is yet.

Probably from LDV or Virigin trains!!

Not LDV this time, he's from the Swiss Ticket desk, has got the fine art of lying down to a T and can't be trusted as far as you could throw him! Job center Plus anybody?

Monarch will be heading to the Circus with Thompsons heading to Swissport. Will be announced soon. Not sure if it is just at BHX or national. Remember where you heard it 1st.

Kick in the teeth...

Kinda a kick in the teeth for all the aviance staff who at bhx are about to tx across that the circus are loosing there biggest contract... Had heard both Tom n ZB were on the verge of joining aviance prior to the merger.... Pretty grim if true and puts a lot of jobs on the line.. Could always sign up to the 'port!! Where do I get my application..

Regards

Baz

I cannot help thinking this will be a disatrous move for Thomson, as it is rumoured that Swissport have made a loss of £9 million over the last 2 years and need to have a major financial turnround this FY or possibly face going under,and with contracts like Flybe which apparently make little or no profit I fail to see how this will be possible.

If true an interesting year for Swissport, especially with the threat of industrial action yet to be resolved ??

SPROKET2009 and thomsonfly.

now that you have got the 95% O.T.D bit sorted on the thomsonfly....maybe you can now try and get 95% of the bags to the undercroft on time.....instead of the 5%.....its not just the onloads you know.....you have to do the whole job.
