No major calamities this time, just the daily fire-fighting of too few staff, internal squabbling and additional tasks piled on daily.We're gonna be right royally fucked when the the summer schedule (190+ flights daily) kicks in on 27th March. As predicted, it's a clusterfuck. The press office blames Covid for staff shortages, but that is being VERY economical with the truth. Probably 5% Covid, 95% we simply can't get staff despite the pay rise. Lockdown made people lazy, they don't want to work - especially a physical, work-in-all-weather, unsociable hours environment. I've just finished a night where I had to send all the bags out from 19:00 in the North terminal (baggage controller shortage) spend 3 hours printing stuff on a slow printer in a different location as our soopah-doopah printer has snuffed it, 3 hours doing systems/paperwok for an colleague who injured themself cleaning an aircraft, then go to the South terminal to send out the first lot of bags from there until I was relieved, then BACK to the North terminal to help shift bags there, due to staff shortages. Was meant to finish at 05:45, left at 06:30.Back in on Saturday - and back to the old 2 days/2 nights pattern. Thank fuck. Constant night shifts are a curse.Get somebody to look after U28933 on Friday please... I don't want to be hanging around all day thank you very much... Friday I will be getting drunk early doors and there's no guarantee it will not be cancelled - another 19 cancelled already today. Shit! On the upside, it's planned on an A321 and not many of them get cancelled 240 passengers booked...235 seats...

23 minute delay due to passenger smoking on the jetty and being agressive to the flight despatcher. Police called, 2 x passengers denied travel and 1 bag (out of 154) had to be located and offloaded. 218 travelled in total.
