One night the rampers all left at once with no backups. There was a Eagles game that night or something so everyone called in sick. The folks who work ramp tower came out to do the push, and the captain and I had to load bags on the plane. Lame.

Otherwise, there is only a handful of people who work hard there. Everyone else just thinks they are doing you a favor by waving you into the gate and doing their job.
