easy to speak but I can guarantee you you have no more arms after a hudge flight.
offloading a 767 coming back from "far far away" is fuckin' heavy and you just have to do 40lbs average X 200.
the more its heavy the more you throw it as it becomes really painfull and dangerous for your back to just "put them carefully on the belt".

go work for a bit and stop playing with your dick

hahahah WHAAT???? you can't be serious. ( i really hope you arent and that is sarcasm, but if not...) if this guy can't do the work, get some help. I bet that tape went to his supervisors, maybe cost him his job, caused some serious headaches for his supervisors, and maybe cost AC some return customers. If that was your luggage being thrown around you would be singing a different song.

I love it. AC justifying it. hahahahahah

I can hear it now, "we need to have 60 year old flight attendants that bark at passengers."

as an ex rampie I can tell you after a full 767 you are dead. If you think that video is out of the ordinary you are sorely mistaken, doesn't matter the airline everyones bags get lobbed on the belt, it says don't pack anything breakable. Besides ever see how squished those things get packed into the hold just to make them fit sometimes? Putting them in the plane is way worse than tossing them on the belt. most people have those monsterous black hard/ semi hard cases anyways. Really hard to break those. He wasn't hurling them at the belt either, you pick it up with a swinging motion and it lands on the belt comes down with a bit of force just from the weight of it. Don't kid yourself NO bag has ever been gently placed on a belt unless it was some fragile item.

No i would not be singing a different song, i know how to pack my bags, and i know that my CLOTHES inside will handle a little bit of rough handling

[FastFlyBy]

Hahaha been there done that, but not for AC.

In fact... Everyone on the ramp does tosses the bags like that. Don't think that that's the only guy who's ever mistreated a few bags, it happens every day to every bag going through any airport anywhere.

Hell you know what? The automatic baggage sorting system in YVR (departures) is harder on the bags than that guy was. You should see how that thing kicks them down the chute.

The first thing I told my friends and family after I started working the ramp at YVR ten years ago was "don't buy a cheap suitcase and don't pack anything fragile in it".

[FastFlyBy]

Oh and another thing...

Loved the "Delhi bags". An A340 coming from New Delhi with 250-300 pax. Each with a HUGE stinky suitcase held together with straps and weighing 70+ lbs. The suitcases supposedly contained canned foods and wet-ted down clothing (so that they could be packed denser). I never cracked one open to see though, I was just trying to last the day without compressing multiple disks in my back.

HA!
yeah the university in my town has a large group of Chinese exchange students they pull the damp clothes trick too, man do those bags suck saw one at well over 100lbs. Yeah i forgot about the auto loader system and the bigger stations. I've seen that in action too. THAT machine is rough.

hahaha...
i travel with air canada as an employee, former rampi...
I know too how to pack my stuff, and what to keep in the cabin, if you knew...
vinegar pouring from a poor bag, wine, suitcase taken away by a tug, lots of fun there to see the best way to spread a bag on the txy.
even supervisor helped us to throw the 100lbs bags coming from HKg when we were short of staff because of manpower reduction...
hahaha...
go see real life
hahaha....

[FastFlyBy]

I was a really angry person when I worked there, primarily because of that stupid luggage.

Its probably a good thing that I didn't stay very long.

[SQ]

totally agree with you fastfly
even more for $10.63/hr
it doesn't cost a lot to load-tow-offload a plane...........

[C-GGGQ]

man i only made it up to $10.30

[FastFlyBy]

Haha, from the $8.00/hr starting rate I made it to $10 and then 12 with the $2/hr bonus for being a ramp lead. Then I left and worked at a mill for awhile and made $27/hr. Then I got a ramp-to-a-right-seat job and started at $8 again. Go figure.

[Go Guns]

I started in 1997 at $7.50 and when I left four years later I was a lead making $10. I never would've let anybody see me tossing people luggage like that. That being said, some people pack like morons. Don't tie your shoes to your bag. It's a good way to have a rampie take a boot in the face and you to never see that footwear again.

[Rudder Bug]

If I ever see a "pilot" getting rude with a rampie, I'll hit him

Only thing better than the Delhi sack-o-wet-rags is the South-Side-Sandspit-Samsonite.

Green garbage bag with an old mac jacket( sleeves cut-off of course ), acid-washed jeans with mystery stain, a carton of smokes and a half empty bottle of wine in it.. Luckily, the wine usually has a screw cap, so it wont spill.....till you suplex it off the cart.

I love it when the roller bags handle gets stuck open and won't retract, causing no end of grief. The record time I have seen that handle last before a rampy rips it off is about a minute and a half.

They're usually nice enough to send the handle remains down the belt after the bag though...baha!

That video my friends is the definition of LAZY.
