BA Ramp - LGW

Has anyone heard how the outsourcing of the ramp handling by BA in LGW went?

I'm sure it was due to have taken place on the 1st Oct and I haven't seen any comments. Fingers crossed all went smoothly and continues to do so.

Every new major contract has start up difficulties but as always the Old Skool will be against change, but honestly its for the best!!!!

LGW - BA Contract will be fine in SWP's hands....

Regardless of whether it's Servisair/Menzies/Swissport, paying people under £8p/h turns everyone into monkeys
