SMART by Servisair
I hear that Servisair are launching a new independant operation call SMART at LPL and NCL.
With Gate pulling out of Easyjet ground handling, is this real competition for Menzies?

Yes SMART by Servisair will take over all easyjet ground handling arragements from Gate Aviation at LPL and NCL, with ex Gate staff being offered TUPE to Servisair. SMART is aimed at the low cost market i believe.

SMART
I think what it stands for is.... SERVISAIR MEN ARE REDUNDANT TOMORROW.
Maybe thats why servisair want the men at STN to do a 35 hour week....do they they have a cunning plan????

Interesting. I thought easyJet tendered the contract with Servisair because they were unhappy with the service that they were getting? 
So what does mean then? What about other station that went to Menzies 2 years ago? What does the future hold for them?

Menzies didn't want to set up at NCL as the future of the base is still unknown, there was no guarantee that EZY would hang around after a few years after all they have cut the base aircraft over the last few years by quite a few... the cost of starting a base is quite substantial.... why invest when things look bleak, bit of a gamble.
Nutloose, very smart.
Servisair isn't always the higher paid company between themselves and Menzies..varies by station and by what airlines are handled for obvious reasons

Shame, as some stations are on £3.5 even £4 an hour I have heard for the same job role!

menzies pay ranges from £7.53 - £8.17 up and down the country. eash station is paid a flat rate of whichever there rate is...check-in, ramp, dispatch all get paid the same unless on a tupe contract. there is also a bonus ranges from £150 - £250 a minth up and down country for menzies contracts. Not the worst but not the best.
