Media being dramatic

 

[KARFA]

Normally the call for volunteers would be at the gate, and if enough were not forthcoming then people are picked. Unusual that they would do it when onboard.

It isn't clear from the article whether the 19 were volunteers or were indeed forced off.

In one of the groups where this was posted, someone said they accepted volunteers working their way from the front of the plane and there were some towards the back who didn't get picked.

Stated elsewhere at Easyjet will have 7 based aircraft for the winter. Timetable increases to CDG , ACE , ALC, AGP , JER , IOM , TFS and BFS.

It has been a race to the bottom for handling agents. Airlines demanding lower fees will eventually lead to handling agents going out of business. The airlines can argue all they want about poor service delivery but they don't pay their way.

I've dabbled in it too working for Jet2. It isn't easy and as you say it's incredibly physical. Definitely not for softies who don't like manual work.

Which is in keeping with what has already happen, with apparent success, at Manchester.

Scottie I take you mean Jet2 as they are a step ahead of all the others, a friend of mine worked for them and said they felt looked after

I think he's referring to DHL handling Easyjet at Manchester.
