Not only do I want retro turkeys, I want my retro candy canes and calendars that came with it! Back in the day we not only got those things, but we also got a Thanksgiving dinner and a Christmas bonus. Now we are lucky to get a calendar or cake for Founder's Day.

Take your candy canes and calendars and shove em where the sun don’t shine. Same with your cake. Christmas bonus ? We’re you in management?

I remember my supervisor would deliver all the extra turkeys to the less fortunate in Louisville. I remember him asking me to help him pass them out. He secured a refridgerated box truck and needed the help but I declined. I regret not helping him out. Though he hasn't been my supervisor in over 20+ years, he is a hell of a guy. I still see him every now and then. Supes were so freaking cool back then, full time supes included. I have been fortunate to work for some really good guys.

Hell no dude! Put down that drink my man! Those were MUCH different days back then. I haven't done what you do and vice versa. My point is that OUR company was a MUCH better place to work at back then. At least from my end it was. Now it's all about promoting turds who have no idea how to do the job. Again, I don't do what you do.

Outside of having to work the sort when I went full time in '02, I have been a ramp worker. Third shift the whole 30 years. I really like my job but as the years go by I find myself CONSTANTLY tuning out these ridiculous young minnow turds that think they know more than I do.

Here at Worldport, the ramp is where it's at but I have an enormous respect for those that have been there as long or longer than myself no matter the job classification.

It's all good man! I know this is pretty much a drivers forum but I like for folks to see the other side. We get screwed as much or more as you guys and we work really hard but not as hard as those youngsters that work in the hub. I have double shifted quite often in the hub. That's freaking hard ass work man.

Yes it is sir. Yes it is.

I feel like for every person that supports us on that , there's another that just sees how much we make.
Had a guy ask yesterday "why would u strike with how much you make?"
Most could never do the job. They just see the $$$.

No contractors in the ramp or hub. I use to see a cleaning service vehicle parked over at AMDC which is the aircraft parts wharehouse, but haven't in a while. That's good because that is how I had to go full time. It was a hub/housekeeping combo job.
