It only affects BHX. All will be revealed soon. Once I know Swissport staff have been informed I will reveal more.

What? So basically Swissport pulling out of BHX, surely if this happens then another handling such as Menzies is bound step in?

Can't leave everything to Servisair, i doubt they will be able to cope with all the airlines at BHX! :confused:

It has absolutely nothing to do with anyone pulling put. It's actually to do with jobs been made safe.

Ummm strange, you may as well just spill the beans then! :ugh:

Possibly more to do with the rumour previously mentioned that Swissport are giving up other contracts to concentrate solely on Flybe, which could mean that Servisair may have to employ Swissport staff :confused:

Although Legalize is not the most reliable of rumourmongers :


:bored::rolleyes::ok:

OK here it is.

Swissport are set to release 25% of there staff to Servisair due to the Monarch contract its set to be at least 45 staff members from ramp to checkin.

Could be as soon as the 1st of April.

:ok:

So....

My info was correct, however it would seem Swissport are finding it difficult to move a select number of staff from one side of the airport to the other!

Wonder if the Station manager ties his own shoes?

:}

Presumably if this is true, it will upset Aviance/Servisair staff who are worried about their future job prospects, especially as Swissport will no doubt let their "best" staff move across ;)

Aviance/Servisair/Swissport... local deal
 

Aviance/Servisair/Swissport merge to form BHX handling....now there's an idea

Servisair have agreed to take 20 staff. They had no choice as TUPE regulations state they have to take them. Im sure Swissport will give their 'best' staff..:=:=

Good Staff

Both Servisair & ex aviance staff are looking forward to working again with colleagues who were "finished" by either company before.
On a lighter note however the amalgamation process rumbles on (at a snails pace) no one thinks that it will be done before the start of the Summer season as neither union is happy at the way its being handled.

JK

My "insider" tells me that ramp and ops dept at BHX are due to co-locate in the old Aviance office space wef 01 Apr 09 (now theres an apt date :eek:).

With combined operations commencing around the middle of April dependant on training of staff on systems.

Watch this space:(

apparently the ex Aviance ramp staff have already rejected planned rosters for combined ops as the union had an agreement in their old contract which allowed them a say in roster planning.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Latest news!
 

Well well well,

It would seem once again that the managment at Swissport BHX have shown just how much they know about the aviation industry ..........NOTHING!

The tupe agreement has been broken and it would now seem redundency is on the cards for more employee's!

Is this the only action the so called managment know?

well done guys! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

How Ironic!
 

How ironic is it that this threas was started nearly 1 year ago with the following thread

1 year on the duty manager position was changed to shift manager, a role that would be the solution to most problems. And what is happening now, the shift maangers are at risk of redundancy. What Swissport and other companies fail to notice is that just because you flood a company with management it does not necessarily improve things. Especially if the people that are put in them positions are incapable but 'yes' men.
Anyone have any idea of the total amount of redundancies that are beinbg made in Swissport? Are they just at management level or across the board? Some of my friends who work at SP were telling me this is the 4th time in 2 years they have been at risk of redundancy.

Also have heard that a high up manager from Swissport has gone off sick. We all know what happens when that occurs..:{:{:{

Does this mean that the Swissport staff earmarked for transfer will not be moving to Servisair ??

Legalize, I think you may need to change your contacts looking at the above quote, which you unfortunately made on the BHX thread a while back.:rolleyes:

In answer to your question,

15 more to be either made jobless or have their hours reduced, This will be mostley ramp agents. However, team leaders have been given the same notice period which puts them in the line of fire. So in answer to your question undiemole........No there not coming to work for Servisair.

The current managment in place are made up of friends of friends which have (NO) experience in aviation what so ever!! i.e. an ex LDV employee in charge of millions of pounds worth of mahines :} nice one :ok:

Some really good lads will be out of work thanks to clueless wonders!

Undiemole

You are right, i now admit that assumption did not materialise. However, if swissport had kept their previous station manager (WM) and bought in some experienced managers to work alongside him, i firmly beleive that my statement would have materialised at some time.

rather what happened instead was inexpereinced managers were bought in and given nodding dogs to work alongside them them which unfortunateley did not work.:=:=

I dont want to read 18 pages of this thread, but is it about Swissport in general or just BHX?

They are advertising for shift managers at LGW?

The clue is in the title of this forum :rolleyes:

And I dont think many people would be interested in the LGW shift managers role nobody on this chat forum is daft enough to join the clowns :}

The title of the forum is PPRUNE

The Group is Flight/Ground ops and dispatch

The Thread is Swissport redundancies, so I am sorry but your first sarcastic answer means nothing.

Also I really dont care what you THINK, Its obvious reading your few posts that you have some kind of hatred or vendetta against Swissport,

So can anyone else (apart from BHX-MOLE ) answer my original question?
