Working as a CSA/ramp isnt terribly bad (except in -30F windchill). I work with a bunch of other younger folks who are aspiring airline pilots or airline managers, so for the most part, everyone has a good time. Of course, dealing with whiny customers always gets old, but when things run smoothly, it can be qutie fun. Unfortunately in my company the CSA seniority does not transfer to pilot seniority when you get the job, only for pass travels does it matter.
