Re: Tug driver duties

When I worked in the industry - we had an absolute buffoon who did the "headset man" job - he couldnt be @rsed doing the walkround before confirming that all hatches, doors and seals were closed and latched.

These "Senior member of ground handling crew" jobs when they were outsourced from BAA and went to circus air were ALL minimum wage or within a few pennies an hour of it....

They were that badly paid that they had to employ via the job centre, and the number of staff that were there so they didnt get benefit sanctions.....if you get fired from a job, you get your benefits back, if you quit, you have to suffer the consequences - we had 1 guy who kept knocking himself out on the airfield....

Sorry Cynic_999 - I get what you are saying - but lets not pretend they are highly trained individuals....(they once were....now they arent!)....
