[@ItsMeMikey998]

How was it ??

[@koastyreacts]

@@ManuelRodriguez-kt4yv It’s my dream job man. I love it. Couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else!

[@PonelyPonely]

@@koastyreacts whats the pay like for ramp agents?

[@koastyreacts]

@@PonelyPonely haha not great. I would recommend working for an airlines mainline. Try not to work for the smaller sister companies. Like domestic flights you know?

[@PonelyPonely]

@@koastyreacts yeah I was told big airlines got good benefits like free flights and discounts and insurance and more

[@izeseeslies2902]

Good tips bro. I'm a ramp agent at Menzies Aviation. However, when we bring in Korean Airlines, they always have an airline staff follow us to the carousel to make sure we don't throw the bags onto the conveyor. Of course, this delays flights offloading close to a hundred bags sometimes, especially when I'm the only runner.

[@davidsmiths5471]

That's on MENZIES!

[@Xiontoa]

Love the positive energy, can’t wait to start. Looking forward to it

Thanks for sharing

[@charleyyoung262]

Informative I really appreciate this. I have a lot of questions but I won't ask them unless you have the time.

[@michaelaldana8935]

Thanks for the tips/tricks, bro. I've enjoyed watching your other videos too.

[@jerroldb2709]

I start after my cruise in 2 weeks 💪🏽 def needed this

[@TTMiles2]

Yessir glad I could help 💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@thedpstraveller]

thanks!! was really awesome to see how you worked on the breeze aircraft!

[@pvtred]

Damn bro, your ATS station looks like it runs so much more smoothly than ours. The ATS I work for is so god damn unorganized that half of the ramp agents are walking around trying to find their crew. Crews are supposed to be random but half the poas only take their friends which creates a bunch of sitting ramp agents with no idea where to go. You'd think the direct supervisors would do something about it but nope, they care more about socializing. Just had a supervisor laugh at a trainee when she couldn't find the assigned poa (poa in question called out).

[@Spectarium]

I'm starting as a ramp agent in 2 weeks and this put a couple of my worries to rest

[@MrAllenj23]

@@Spectarium Just curious, I'm starting as a Ramp Agent in about 2 weeks. Any advice ? Now that you have about 1 whole year of experience on the Ramp? I'm excited but want to make sure I do an awesome job.

[@1amdiary44]

i was hired as a ramp agent 2 months ago I was always in the pit, now i dont even step inside because i was promoted to lead and fully certified to push the planes

[@cmmhelmond]

Nice tip about the App 👍

[@animemantim]

What is the work schedule like? Do ramp agents typically work mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights? Is there a set schedule?

[@TTMiles2]

The schedule really differs it goes off of operational needs so many stations are different but me personally I work mornings

[@TTMiles2]

Schedule can change tho cuzz flight changes times all the time

[@animemantim]

I See. Thanks Brother@@TTMiles2

[@magetv1232]

So did you have to learn all the abbreviation codes for the Airlines?

[@ParamoreFAV3]

Probably a dumb question, but do they provide all the equipment you mentioned and can you choose certain equipment to have? And right now, I’ma permanent substitute teacher during 9 months out of the year and give myself a little break in the summer time but I feel like it’s great money to be made and I love being outside. On a scale from 1-10, how highly would you recommend applying? And how long is training usually? Great video

[@TTMiles2]

It may be different depending on the company ik they at least have hearing protection and vest

[@jesama6852]

Thank you bro I just got hired this my 2nd week 💀

[@tootiebeamon6607]

Do you know the link to apply for delta ramp agents?

[@NadimIsmail-ei7yy]

can you be a ramp agent with a g1 here in Canada thats the license that lets you drive like a learner's permit and you have the physical license card?

[@jhetpaulodeclaro7800]

Is there any chance i can work there? I am from Philippines. I have a background in aviation industry.

[@KaiOz]

if you have legal documents that can make you eligible for employment here in the U.S. .. then there's a high chance for you to work here ..

[@JasJagpal]

how do you get by with sneakers... aren't safety boots mandated?

[@Shadiitoooo]

No its not mandatory

[@tleeg74]

@@Shadiitoooo I've ran over my foot with a jet ramp twice. If I didn't have steel toes on, I would have definitely broke something.

[@Shadiitoooo]

@@tleeg74 lucky you. Your awareness skills are low also

[@tleeg74]

@@Shadiitoooo yeah, but in my defense it happened with in the first two weeks of being on the ramp. I'm much more aware of my foot placement after 10 months of being out there. Plus our ramps now aren't manual, their electric

[@mikelylesstudios]

Gym shoes are not recommended in my opinion. Consider the women whose foot practically got cut off due to wearing gym shoes when her tub and another tub collided on the ramp. Having boots would have minimized the injury greatly.

[@charleyyoung262]

Did the job suggest and train you on the app?

[@reanagen]

They don’t offer equipment?

[@Christopher-Randall]

So that explains why the spinner wheels are always broken off...dude THROWING the bag onto the baggage claim belt at the end

[@djbobbys1]

And you did this do you have to go to headquarters you get training

[@cmmhelmond]

Please can I add my my own tip ? NEVER work without safety shoes at the airport.

[@hereandnow8578]

true. the steel toes slow u down. but i think its only for clumsy mfs

[@mikelylesstudios]

Steel toes are bad in winter because it makes your feet even colder or freezing due to the steel but nonetheless it is safe.

[@geegeeme3256]

What is the down time between flights you have to load and unload? Or is it one flight after another?

[@shqiptari1699]

Most of the time you offload the plane then load it straight after for new passengers to board, sometimes there is a gap so you can rest/relax for 30min etc depending on departure times. if it’s a late final plane that comes in you just offload. On average I do about 3 planes a day. It will never be back to back to back of loading/offloading.

[@charleyyoung262]

I have never heard of a push back. Don't the planes back up themselves too?

[@davidsmiths5471]

They can but it's hard on the engines, uses a lot of fuel,and very noisy

[@jesseobrien7062]

Do you just focus on one airline or several airlines

[@Melly-uf5kp]

I think he’s a sub contractor

[@mikelylesstudios]

Sounds like multiple airlines. I’m assuming he’s gaining the experience as a contractor so that he can eventually go to a mainline airline although it is not required that you have prior experience to work for a mainline although helpful.

[@tootiebeamon6607]

Yo is it true that you have to have customers service experience?

[@mikelylesstudios]

It’s not required but helpful. You do however deal with customers to some degree especially when entering the jet bridge to place bags, strollers, wheelchairs and pets, etc. Sometimes you enter the planes to communicate with passengers that have pets but this is on occasions. I’m not a ramp agent but I did train before realizing it wasn’t for me thus resigning.

Stopped watching after the intro. How annoying.
