Try reading from post #98 onwards:ok:

Another one bites the dust
 

Just heard that my old MAS pal 'Tony Williams' has jacked as well from his Duty Officer position. Another big loss, he was a man of much experience,dedication and professionalism. What are Swissport playing at???

I'm told he was hauled over the coals for helping the Ramp staff on an aircraft!!! Only two ramp guys so he went to muck in:(

GROUNDHOGBHX

It was because he put steps on a monarch A321 on his own after it waited on stand for 40 mins as no ramp staff would do it themselves they said "were not trained to move steps" Thats what I was told good bloke anyway and will be missed.:D:D

What makes me laugh is the fact that Swissport managemnt would sit in airport meetings and have a good laugh and joke at the expense of Aviation Support services (AJ). In my opinion Swissport are worse as they have backing from big companies and they still can't do the job properly.

Bring back ASS !!!

Swissport prob wont be here in 6 months so dont worry about it... Your right though:ok:

Things are really starting to get sporty at Swissport, those who are still left are working harder and harder while we lose staff left right and center. lets hope we can pull up before we hit the rocks..........

Any thoughts??????

I dont work for swissport so i cant say ive seen the insides of the downturn but some of your guys look totally knackered.

I saw the PIA come on to 41 today with no stand guidance systems and only one guy there. Thats not a "knock" im just sayig it seems that swissport really are stretched at the moment. Whats the actual plan or dont they have one? Or dont they care? OR is it all of the above?

Something to do with a driving permit me thinks.....:ugh::ugh::ugh:

Bring back ASS !!! :mad:

No way! Unreliable, unsafe, under staffed, zero training and no kit! At least under the previous manager.
I wouldnt have thought BIA would re issue them with a work permit in a hurry.

Come on Swissport management! A global company! Sort this mess out :suspect:

Latest on the Monarch saga is that they are no longer on 60 days improvement, they are now on 90 days termination according to what I was told this morning:eek: Anyone care to confirm or deny, this is very bad for the few staff left. Swissport are in real trouble now by the look of it, no Ops Sup last night or today and load control passed to NCL.:sad:

Centralised L/C in NCL Groundhog? When did that happen?

Thing is ... if ZB do terminate Swissport where are they going to go??

This might have been discussed previously but seriously ... can any of the other agents at BHX take them right now? Thats a lot of flights.

Not centralised, NCL doing loadsheets because there are no load controllers on shift. Despatchers are doing there own and NCL doing flybe!!

Word this morning was that ZB were Servisair bound, but both agents would have trouble finding room for them at the moment unless staff came from Swissport with them. I know a few that would move but doubt it would be enough.

Well where ever they end up if they go from SP someone is in for a rough ride trying to squeeze all that work in! :{

If Monarch do leave Swissport and go to servisair .A certain Despatcher would have to follow them wouldn't he?:ok:

Apperently the 60 day notice was applied to other stations but not BHX as they think the service is still good at BHX. They are either blind or stupid if that is right or our management are lying through the teeth

Load control was not passed to NCL in the end. God knows how but managed to get it covered for the rest of today but who knows what will happen tomorrow

Haven't you got one of our guys down there helping out in load control!

rumour has it monarch will move to cov, now they have perm for the new terminal

I have heard the same thing about BE since Ryanair have arrived in T2... hmmmm

They have not got permission yet....They were denied at the public enquiry, a High Court hearing is scheduled for July 21st I believe.
So all those rumours are Bogus as usual.
