No surprises there - Swissport simply cannot cope since they took on the handling for British Airways.  Rumours are that Virgin are going to ditch them too, which will cost them fortunes.

Let's see what happens tonight - Swissport have brought in 40 staff from Heathrow and Gatwick are supplying another 40 to help at the reclaim belts.

The flaw in the plan is that neither the Heathrow lot or the Gatwick lot can drive any of the vehicles,  so their presence may be of limited use.

Doubtless the press will be there tonight. ..

Last night,  our company played easyJet in a football match to raise money for the Royal Marsden in Sutton. We won 5-2, but bearing in mind it was 11 shaved head, hard bastard ground handlers against 11 slightly camp cabin crew boys then it is not unexpected.  It seems that the easyJet team had to use 7 substitutes due to "strong" tackles.

Your baggage tag has a three letter code on it denoting the destination - i.e. "PFO" is Paphos.

One of the noobies asked me where "BRI" is - so I said Brighton. "Oh" he replied and wandered off. An hour later he wandered up to me and asked "why fly to Brighton, it's only half an hour to drive there?"

"Some people just like flying" I replied.

"Yeah, suppose..." was his thoughtful response.

He lives in Haywards Heath.
