Do it yourself bag tagging is coming to an airport near you!
Do you think this is a good idea or do you think it is a step too far?
If this method of check-in is rolled out across airports throughout the UK and Europe it will enevatably lead to a reduction in airport staff normally used to do the job.
Airlines have already saved millions of pounds by insisting passengers check-in online but many passengers still require the use of bag drop facilities at airports. These require manned check-in desks to tag bags going into the hold of the aircraft.
Although many people wont be overly bothered about having to tag their own bag we must ask the question, where does this stop?
Throughout different industries company's are trying to find new ways of cutting costs but this will ultimately lead to fewer jobs. Supermarkets are asking people to scan their own products through the tills without even an offer of a discount. Nearly all government forms are now being done online instead of at the Post Office. etc etc.
Where will this all end, will anybody have a job in 10 years time?
