You have identified the real problem with working the ramp. Most operators are IMO pretty good about advancing those rampies that worked hard and had a good attitude. Unfortunately some operators have no ethics or morals, but there is a wealth of information on this and other sites and word of mouth at the airport. It is important to do your research. My advice is it will be pretty obvious how the operation is being run in the first few weeks of your employement on the ramp. At that point you may have some hard decisions to make...welcome to the cold hard reality of Canadian aviationTaintedGravity wrote:Quick question:
I'm not entirely sure if this has been touched upon yet... But I worked the ramp at a particular company. This company was saturated with hopefuls that slaved for countless months, even up to a couple of years! What I didn't understand was when the company hired outside the company when one of those desired, valuable spots finally opened up!
PS - the rampies and cargo agents alike had (if not more) the hours and met all requirements.
