Never spent much time in ops then!! If you had you would have seen my collection of signs including the one that says "I don't look busy because I got it right first time!"

Looks like more heads to roll, the 3 ops supervisors are getting the chop along with the Ramp supervisors all in the name of progress, I tell you this new CEO is a fool, but Im sure the union is going to stand firm just like they have with our pay raise, here is an idea for all the staff at Swissport, if you want more money in your pocket at the end of the month, canx your membership, that will put an extra £10 in your wallet...

A lot of the personnel changes are "customer led" , as Swissport's biggest customer at BHX is demanding an improved service

Replacing the Ramp Sups and Ops Sups, a step back 7 years. It was hard work when there was only one airline and impossible when there was two, why do they think it will work now

Just seems to be way to cut staff when they are having trouble coping with the numbers they have got and a great way off letting staff get away with murder, whoever gets the job will only know half of it and the others will milk it.

Rumour has it these positions were offered to certain people behind closed doors in exchange for calling off the pending strike action

Cut costs

saving money...it's the way of the world, as long as it is not seen as a way for the staff having to cut corners, as they try to ''get the job done''
same old..same old.
The boys in red on the ramp..best of luck, all pax services no running to the gate...oneday maybe things will come good.

And....? What you going to blame onto somebody else this time, if your going to start posting like you dieg last time but not have the balls to show your face at swissport i suggest you 'go back to where you came from' because 'we do things different over here'

From what I hear you don't do anything different. Same old cowboys running the same cowboy operation..
For your info I was begged to come back into Dispatch by the AOM manager, he even sent out my contract. I wouldnt lower myself and come back to that joke you call a 'Handling Agent'
