When Swissport took over in IAD they were making them pay for their own parking. Almost criminal.

You hire the PSA of ground handlers then expect anything different?

Delta put that company in for the Connection side in DTW. Paid them a couple bucks more an hour than DGS but took away all travel. Performance is basically a wash.

Well their performance in Denver is abysmal.

That is the understatement of the year... The first day they started, we got pushed by some gang banger looking guy who must've thought he was at Disneyland.. The fastest push ever, while this clown is standing up while pushing us while dancing and rapping in our ears... Me and the capt just looked at each other with the WTH look... A United ramper told me United doesn't give a crap so I expect hour waits for commissary and 20 minute waits for gate check bags to be delivered to continue indefinitely... Now when we get the delay in ACARS we just type in Simplicity.... Pathetic and embarrassing to be associated with this.

This is a shame as Skywest used to do a decent job there. Was one of the better United stations. Hopefully things turn around.

I'm writing this reply on a 60 minute RJ turn in DEN right now. They didn't even attempt to load any bags until 10 after departure time.

Told some of the folks that were happy Swissport was replacing Air Whiskey they should be careful what they ask for. Have dealt with them before and they are awful because they offer minimum wage, no benefits, and you pay for all your own stuff. Only the idiots that can't work for McDonalds work for this.....

Heard on ramp frequency yesterday that people are quitting faster than they can hire them.. United is having to send over some of their folks to get things done. What a cluster. Can't wait for the first blizzard!

We watched them have a snowball fight on the ramp in plain view of the flying public. I mean we were only 40 minutes past our scheduled departure time! :mad: Unbelievable! These are the people we're trusting around aircraft that are hauling passengers? It is only a matter of time before they damage a plane, injure or kill someone, or worse. This isn't just an embarrassment, it's a safety issue on so many levels. Any FAA bubbas read these threads? If so, this is an area that needs your attention.
