How about "Making Sure We Have Enough Rampers To Load Baggage In JFK"?
I'm told that 75 rampers sicked out yesterday, leading to many international cancellations due to crews timing out. $$$$$$$
How are those negotiations coming??
It was a bit worse then what you heard. In defense of some of the rampers public transportation to the airport was shut down for part of the time. Delta finally threw in the towel and shut down all ops until noon on the 4th. Many inbounds had extensive holdouts for no gates.
