Air Canada's Travel Unravelled Hits the Ramp

On this episode of Travel Unravelled, we take you deep into the belly of Toronto's Pearson International airport and out on the ramp to show you what it takes to get an Air Canada flight off the ground!

Nice vid, I'm a ramp lead at LHR (for Air Canada) and I really enjoy my job, it's a bit like getting paid for your hobby. It's good that folk get an insight into what goes on with their flight. I get a great deal of satisfaction seeing a flight departing on time or early knowing what goes into getting that flight airborne. It's nice when you realise that some of our passengers are on the trip of a lifetime and may well have booked up to a year in advance.

I watched this video almost 6 months ago when I applied. I got hired a month later. I work every Friday and Saturday beside LF23 at TX4&5! It's funny looking at the video now and recognizing it all! Hammerhead is tough work though haha but it's good when you got great team members.

[@jaegermah]

+shyzo14 Congrats on the job bro! Are you still there? It's tuff work hey! I was one of the guys capturing the video, and was very impressed by the dedication of team.

[@shyzo1438]

+Jaeger Mah thanks! Yup I still work there but now I work in "Manpower" which is the team of people who essentially assign the station attendants their daily assignments. It's a very challenging position...not physically because you work at a computer desk, but mentally. I actually just wrote a text with Craig that you saw near the beginning of the video....a radio test.

[@jaegermah]

+shyzo14 awesome!!! I can only imagine how challenging your job would be. Assigning all those ramp attendants to each flight would be crazy. Your role could probably be its own video, lol. Craig is an awesome guy hey! He was so much fun to work with. I would love to get out on that ramp again (but this time in a winter storm)!

[@shyzo1438]

+Jaeger Mah you should! The winter is a whole different story haha. Being outside when it's minus 30 is a challenge. But everyone gets the job done.

I just got hired for the same job here in Montreal. Gotta still do the medical, did the background check. Wow, there's lots going on with that job, I'm slightly intimidated!

A Message to Air Canada.

[@IdleBroadcast]

Thanks for the great video! I love to see behind the scene action at airports. If a bag gets into one of the containers, but the passenger does not check in don't they have to remove the bag from the plane? Do they keep track of which bags are in which containers and would then they'd have to remove the containers until they find the one with the bag in it?

[@rethinker167]

i just applied for this job for ottawa (cyow) a few days ago. i hope i get it!

[@seanboi69]

Did you get it?

[@jaycee1011]

i had a dream the other day i heard these pilots talk in a french voice say "we flew over frobisher bay to newzeland". in the dream there was this unusual looking aircraft launched on a catapult with heavy amounts of bank angle in the launch. french pilot was also saying ten times size of grand canyon. i know its crazy to talk about a dream but sometimes you have dreams about things you have never thought about subconciously about flying.

[@abdulkeni]

i would like to join this successful team! good job

[@jamielee9494]

I love your videos I have been on your airline

[@XYZ-rd9vk]

Nice!!

[@michaelcowtan3256]

My daily visit to remind people that Air Canada "does not accept responsibility for consequential expenses / losses beyond the contract of carriage", which means they do not reimburse ANY expenses when you are delayed in Paris for two nights because of mechanical problems and lost bags

[@gmickysingh9503]

Nic video

[@brandonironside2564]

Make more of these videos

[@DannysPasture]

now that is my furture job

[@dangkhoahoangpham1731]

I had my dream become a flight attendant in the future

[@chingkongho]

We know which bags are in which containers when we use the scanner. And yes, we need to empty the entire containers to find that specific bag. If we did the scanning wrongly, we need to empty ALL the containers in order to find that specific bag. Ramp attendant @ YYZ

[@l5andPregnant]

Bag pulls are the WORST!

[@hauntingechoes]

Do bag pulls happen often or on ocassion?

[@nathanharris8031]

How many Boeing 747-400s does AC have in their fleet?

[@iVince905]

air canada discontinued the boing 747 fleet many years ago I believe around early 2000s to mid 2000's for the Airbus A340 which they have discontinued as well too for the Boeing 777.

[@1_manproject]

iVince905 They Dindt discontinued the 777-300er

[@iVince905]

MineBlox Channel yeah I know... i said they replaced the a340's for the triple 7 :)

[@iVince905]

False statement @ 3:09 aircrafts can indeed reverse if turbofan engine is equipped with reverse thrusters (which most do) they just aren't allowed to do so while on the ramp because it will literally blow off the terminal/gates

[@jaegermah]

Sorry for the mistake. Thanks for clarifying.
