4.30am! To make matters worse I had to be back at the airport for around 9 to go to MSP via AMS!
Like mentioned above, the airport was also dead. The two female staff on the desk in the baggage hall were just sat giggling and couldnt work the tannoy. People were going mad quite quickly! Apparently “the lorry broke down”, which, for an international airport at 4.30 in the morning seemed a rather tall story
I noticed Gate the other day. I always see the same dispatchers on easyJet flights, and ones that previously worked for Servisair are now at Gate (at least some, anyway). So will they have changed employer, or do they work for easyJet?
Ah i see! I was going to say if it had been any later the lads would have bee busy doing the outbounds.
As for Gate they have carried over some dispatchers from Servis Air, aswell as the easyjet check in staff, ramp lads and controllers. They all used to work for Servis Air they now work for Gate. There are some ex swissport dispatchers working for Gate covering the eastern flights i think there due to start training up on Easyjet soon.
