Please tell me you treat the clingfilmers with contempt
Oh yes. The bastards. When you're trying to slide a 28kg bag along the hold floor it's bad enough, but when cling-filmed up the fu(kers don't slide. So they are hurled...
Also today I offloaded a big bastard A330 from America and there were 259 bags on it. All of them heavy. I nearly shit myself when the first one said "Heavy - 51". Of course the septics still use pounds - all the rest are in kgs. So 51 pounds is sod all, I could lift it hang it off the end of my knob. Bloody Yanks.
And no, Nick, no luck with the Virginettes yet, but I do work with a flight Dispatcher who smiles an awful lot at me. She looks like Phillipa Forrester
