Yes, according to "Newco" staff they were told yesterday that they had been bought, could it be a coincidence that DNATA are advertising on their website for "multi-skilled ground handling operatives " at BHX, NCL and EMA ??. interesting times ahead at BHX

Good luck with the new company guys. I have been told by some lads at HEl that it isnt a bad company to work for.

I think it very unlikely, the stations had to be sold to an active competitor, it they flipped it straight away then I am sure that this would breach the EU requirements and negate the sale. I suspect that they do actually want the UK business, they already have a big de-icing presence in the UK

Most the BHX newco guys are pretty disappointed. They were hoping to be taken over by one of the big players to try and get some sort of job security.
Aviator are relatively unheard of in the UK and dont really offer much in terms of job security. Also will be interesting to see if they will bring their own management team in. A lot of the other parties who were interested had a big issue with inheriting a 'poor' management team who were only put into positions based upon who they knew rather than on merit. However saying that this seems to be a common issue at BHX!!

It all depends on your workload really I'm afraid. 4&4 is hated by most companies as you are off more than on over a rolling year. 4 days hol = 12 days off. I'm not standing up for management, but gone are the days in aviation, where you can sit down for hours on end, still on the clock,cup in hand, because you have hit your trough for day. They will engineer what ever roster suits the workload.......don't you have a union ?
Good luck

i am sure the person who does the rostering & planning uses a suitable tool to carry out certain excercises to increase both productivity (for the company) and end user (Ramp Workers) satisfaction...
Hope this helps but there is no point in other Airports/GHAs sending you their rosters as every Airport/GHA works to different schedules/priorities/manpower levels/Collective Labour agreements (Governmental/Union based)....

Hi guys,
I wonder if one of you can help me. I work for Servisair now Swissport at LHR. We can't get hold of a uniform policy. I wonder if one of you could possibly screen shot it to me?
All stations please. I really appreciate it.
