Also feeling very sad  cry: About 25% of my boys are agency. Most of them are good as gold and would qualify for a permanent contract in April. I have a feeling that when I'm back on shift, they'll be gone.

Normally, I'd be going to be about now, but today isn't normal. So I shall stay awake and will be on the Guinness at exactly 0900hrs. Extremely reliable scientific research assures me that consumption thereof is a surefire way to repel any gookbat virus.  :thumbsup:

Increasingly looking like the party's over. Some ground handlers are sending their staff home on unpaid leave, passenger volumes decimated. We're not at that stage.

Yet.

26,500 passengers booked seats yesterday, only 17,000 turned up.

Ski flights are 100+ passengers down on expected numbers each flight. Italy is only repatriation flights. Cyprus will be the same tomorrow. Prague closed, Copenhagen closing, as will most of Spain. Even robust places like Tennergrief and Lanzagrotty only 2/3 full. Southern France weakening and Poland in lockdown.

I've just finished my last night shift and wonder what I will walk into when I'm back in Wednesday morning. Or should that be IF I'm back in on Wednesday morning  rubschin:

The thought of not being able to smash someone's fake Luis Vuitton to pieces is filling me with dread  eeek:
lol: lol: lol:

and great vid  :thumbsup: but this doesn't sound like great news for you, hope things improve
Well, whatever, nevermind

Nah, they can't afford that kind of expenditure right now. A pedalo at gunpoint sounds more likely...  whistle:

Turkey has closed it's doors to non-nationals and non-residents. We had to offload 130 passengers and 96 bags when the news came through.

In good news, "well done Dave" - a bloke at work who is more irritating than piles, is stuck in Poland with no way out unless he gets a cab to Berlin. Great for us, bad for Poland. The natives may kill him, saves me the job...
