Did this for 30 yrs in HNL Went from 747's and DC10's to 767 and the 757 narrow bodies when the airlines became cost cutting crazy. Thousands of pounds of Freight and mail with each flight, containerized on the wide body and free loaded on the 757. If you wish to continue this, I recommend working for one of the big airlines. AA, United or even Delta (non union but pay very well too}. Once your in and build some seniority, you can transfer anywhere your seniority lets you. The pay is much better and overall, the benefits are also. You can also check other cities that are hiring if you want to relocate. Since your not afraid of doing the work, you'll have it easy. Good luck

Very interesting..curious why you aren't mentioning aspects concerned with discounted travel fees . Sometimes zero & typically only tax amt for price of ticket.Kinda concerning that any aspect concerned with preparing any aspect of a machine full of people, isn't treated with kid gloves..not a crew of youngsters maybe better suited for staff at a drive thru car wash. The supervisor slouched in his chair with nothing particular to say is a scary example🌉..wonder where your surfboard or dog kennel disappeared to? Uh..well here's food for thought🐾

@@canyonhaverfield2201 Contract workers have been around for years now. Smaller airlines believe the mistakes and problems associated with these companies are fine. Because they are expendable the minute things get out of control. they just go to the next contract company. They don't have to bear the cost of employee related stuff so they save a bundle. I'm never too comfortable seeing contract guys down below if I'm flying. An open lav panel or forget to close a door can be scary.. I'm sure some are fantastic but they are usually short timers and won't be there long. Where are the majors, AA, Delta and United give benefits and high pay to make sure things go right..

Good on you for this video and your other about the work you do in the airline gig. I've been in Air Cargo going on 28 years here in Alaska (ANC). My first 5 years were as a ground handler for a company that serviced other airlines and the rest has been for one of the big international air cargo airlines working 747's and now 777's. But when i tell people coming up that I started at the bottom, I meant it, dumping lavs, pumping up the potable water, throwing bags and huffing many thousand pound cargo containers and pallets. I've moved up but I always remember where I came from and often enough I'm out on the ramp out turning planes like cheap tricks. I let my flight crews know when the weather is bad to treat my ramp crews well, don't leave them out standing in the rain, the snow, the wind or the dark just because they're just not feeling it and not in a rush to move a plane. Your job and mine are very different on one side of the hand and but also the same on the other side of the hand. When I travel and look out the windows, your the guys I'm looking for. Its never anyone I know but all cut from the same cloth, all brothers and sisters of the airline industry getting it done, the people behind the scenes making it happen so that the traveling public can get to where they are going and their bags magically appear and all the things the make the plane happen actully happen. Great video of you taking the time to show the pride in what you do and that you go out and get it done without being thanked. Just know, a few of us that do the job, we watch you and people like you and thank you for helping us get from A to B!

It must be cleared by GOAC and the content must be screened by both GOAC and the TSA before being uploaded. Its cool that you exercised the right channels to share this with us. Its encouraged me to learn more and help ramp much more often since Im in a ULD my whole shift loading what you guys put on those planes Current employees: Policy on this is very strict. Please do not pull your phone out on the ramp or in the warehouse if you work cargo without explicit permission. What hes done here helps out his airline company and shows more people how cool this job is. Mad respect bro for doing it the right way and helping the business grow. We need a lot of help so this matters. IMPACT

I worked on the ramp a long time ago just as a summer job. It was fun, but dangerous...dangerous when people don't follow safety protocols. I worked in the bag room mostly when I was assigned to a crew. The bag room was fun and easy. I was apart of a ramp crew as well. I sucked at marshaling in the planes. It definitely takes some practice. One memory that was kind of a wow moment was; a 757-300 that had 3 HRs on a full flight. I felt bad for the guy who had to load that bin. HRs are human remains and you CANNOT stack them and put LUGGAGE on top of them. When I was on a ramp crew routinely if there were any HRs there was 1, maybe 2, but this flight had 3.
@ZayPolanco
@ZayPolanco Жыл бұрын
I never had to worked with any HRs. But had worked with some organs but they were light. It is a very dangerous job and should follow every safety protocol and cant get complacent with all the machines and high torque motors everywhere. Bag room is fun but can be tough too. Marshalling is one of my fav things to do. Takes time to get used to

over the years I've loaded a ton of HR's. On wide body aircraft sometimes it would be on a pallet here in Hawaii. Usually military so the officer that escort the HR would come out to witness the unloading. I was on the loader and you can imagine the pressure. Everyone looking out the window from the gates and the highly decorated serviceman below saluting as I brought it down. All work stopped until we got it off. The next part was to get it on to a lousy freight dolly we have. Not a simple task with old equipment but I never had a bad problem.
@bubbagreen7724
@bubbagreen7724 Жыл бұрын
@@gmar7836 So essentially not everyone dies in the city or state, where they ultimately want to be buried or have their remains disposed of. So routinely on commercial flights, human remains are loaded into the bin of the aircraft with the rest of the luggage. Let's just say you had a aunt that lived and died in California. Perhaps, her wishes and or a already purchased grave plot are located in New York. Her body would ultimately be flown back to NY in the manner described. Ofcourse, I am sure bodies are just driven across state lines versus flown, but unless that distance is justifiably short, most likely the love one will be taken a flight.

Being near those plane engines at full speed and trying to unhook the tow bar was scary my first couple times lol

I applied for this job because I wanted a change and my friend is an agent for United airlines and told me how fun it is to work for the airport, I'm hoping I get to travel and continue to learn and grow within the company. I am a fast learner and eager to learn so I shouldn't have any problems, I'm just hoping I can stay full time if hired because I pay bills lol.

Those are the reason why luggage bag weight limit is only around 23 to 25kg each. Then people complaining why they can’t do 30kg plus on luggage it will go also on same plane. Doing the same thing before on cruise ship with 5k capacity meaning 10 times what that plane can carry. After loading we have to prepare their rooms and deliver their luggage to their room while sailing. Its not a easy jod and not worth it for 18 to 20$/hr even we travel for free

Bro u talk about safety u guys don't wear knee pads as u get older your back and knees will start to hurt especially the back it will give you alot of problems so think about it I've been with the airlines for 34yrs I seen alot of my coworkers out on disability just a heads-up take care of yourself Like the video 🤙👍

I worked a ton of flights in the bulk and freeloading the belly in my 30 years and I'm 6'6". The one thing I found is that when I squat ( like an infielder or basketball player on defense) I was always able to use my legs. Even if I had to kneel, my only support was my lower back. I stayed in good shape throughout and never had a back problem. Now I'm retired and play lots of golf with zero issues. Couple things though I recommend using ear muffs. Airlines decided to go cheap and allow ear plugs over the years. I have lots of friends that are pretty deaf now from that. Also I ended up with some pretty nasty arthritic fingers from grabbing bags and freight and back in the day we loaded and unloaded thousands of pounds of freeloaded mail. In fact before Christmas time DC10's would come in with the belly completely free loaded. Open the cargo door and mail would fall out. Massive amounts. I don't think there is anything I could have done to avoid the arthritis though.
