Swissport pay offer

I have heard whisperings that things are not looking too good for the staff of swissport bhx the pay offer quoted from the company is totally laughable intresting to see what happens:ugh:

Swissport pay offer
 
OPS1978

I heard about your pay offer. Absoloutley disgusting!! I think its time for "EVERYBODY OUT!!"

You guys have nothing to worry about. If Swissport shuts down it doesnt mean your customer airlines are going anywhere. Also i have friends in very high places at BHX who reliably inform me that there is another handling agent waiting to come in. Currently they are biding their time just waiting for the right airlines to come their way. I can honestly say, this company will be better for you guys and are known for looking after the workforce and not demoralising it.
Watch this space:ok:

I Hope you are right and if its the same people i have heard is coming into bhx would jump ship straight away take Monarch,PK,Swiss,Turkmenistan. They will then leave swissport with the only airline tha counts to them "flybe" then hey maybe we can work back in a proper terminal T1.

Lets hope? The old groundastar staff need saving by someone we can trust.:D

A replacement for TW or have you been careless and lost another one????

bejw2008 8th July 2008 13:29

Well now lets see, so far, as far as I'm awear
the only person who is intrested, works, or
tries to work in Load Control. Not the best choice...
Maybe managment at Swissport will be tempted to
"keep it in the family" I hope she gets it, should be
a laugh to see the performance, but will she take it?

I don't think she would have the bottle! or has she?

tickerdboo 14th July 2008 19:39

Well the new chap in swissport ops lasted long......
