Lets be honest, nobody who posts on here has a clue about whats happening with contracts.

An EK dispatcher as a source? Very good.

Well Legalize it looks as if the windows in diamond house may need cleaning as nothing was clear yesterday, no big announcements as you predicted :oh:

I eagerly await your next pearls of wisdom :ok:

Legalize, as per usual you are full of !!!!! Everybody apart from you knows that announcements aren't made on a Friday, unless it's bad news! I seriously hope that you too are made redundant very soon and have others speculating about your job being 'saved'!.

number1delta, everybody who knows you is fully aware that delta doesn't mean dispatcher! It's not often you are right, but you are wrong yet again!! The airport job centre hasn't closed, it has moved to Diamond House. I suggest you check out where it is because it looks like you will be needing it soon as the TUPE safety net has been removed and it is very unlikely that anyone would want to take you on when Menzies start losing more contracts!

Groundhog

15 years service, 2 airports under my belt. aint going nowere.:ok::ok:e

If you need a job i may be able to put in a good word for you with OCS.

I don't need a job number1dimebar, got more than enough to keep me busy. Just remember that TUPE doesn't apply anymore so when Menzies lose all their contracts you will be needing that job centre! Lets face it, Boz is the highest rated member of staff at Menzies and he doesn't stand a chance so you have no hope!

Bloody hell! Boz is still working at Mezies. Has he done more than 2 shifts without going sick!

That guy must have the worst sick record in the history of BHX

Think you guys should delete your last 2 posts, its rather unpleasant to start mocking individuals by name :=

Flybe announcement has been delayed due to a 3rd new handler who lodged a last minute tender.

groundhogbhx, did u say someting about Menzies loosing all their contracts? Well it hasnt happened yet and not likely to happen either.:ok:

Might be able to hook u up with a job in BSA if you interested

Just wait and see number1dimebar, your colleagues seem to have a much better idea what is going on than you, so no change there. And you obviously still can't read and understand the English language, I have absolutely no need or desire to rejoin the 'race for the bottom' world that is ground handling. I have done my time there and I am now happily enjoying the outside world!

Legalize, come on then be a bit more specific, is the mysterious late bid from :

1.Dnata
2.Airline services
3.Asig

pray tell ;)

Legalize there is no way a 'last minute' tender could be submitted if the contract had been awarded and an announcement was imminent as your 'reliable source' claimed.

A tender process is extremely strict miss the deadline and its curtains. Then again we are talking about FlyBe and we all know they will do anything to cut costs so much so that whoever is unlucky, sorry lucky enough, to handle them will probably do it for peanuts.

Like the previous poster I agree that the only 'new' handling agents could be Dnata, Airline Services and ASIG - I have worked with Directors from the first two would anyone like an introduction?

Trust me, when an airline realizes there may be an option og getting even cheaper ground handling, they will accept late tenders. There are now 3 in the rat race

Menzies
Swissport
Airline services

and if you know the MD of the 3rd one he will confirm with u.

Very interesting and very naughty of Flybe to potentially back track on what you and your reliable 'Emirates' despatcher thought was a done deal.

Business is business and cash is king but honest and above board is much better not underhand deals done last minute or behind the scenes.

Sometimes work needs to be refused if you get nothing in return from it. I remember it costing one handling agent at BHX money every time they handled a small carrier because a per seat price had been quoted and the aircraft was never full.

The airline industry was a complete pleasure to work in and I worked for three fantastic airlines, then I discovered handling agents which are a totally different ball game.

Good luck to whoever wins the contract - Flybe will definately want their money's worth and more.

Big announcement at BHX on 04 Dec, perhaps our friend legalize can enlighten us 😉

Legalize is a PLEB......

Must be a relation of yours!

I think enough!
