Thanks for your videos...they really help people make a more informed decision when trying to determine if they want to work at the airport! Keep up the good work!
Its hard to get a ramp agent job with an actual airline well atleast here in las vegas...i been trying for years to get on with SOUTHWEST smh one day!!
Swl232nd Keep trying!!! It will happen! Between my layoff with Delta and my current airline job, it took like seven years for me. LAX was always hiring and I could get jobs there, but it is way too far of a commute especially with traffic. So, I had to wait until my airport finally hired me. Persistence pays off and it's going to happen!Southwest is a great company. Thanks for watching and good luck!
I always wanted to be a ramper, but because my dad said only men could do this job, my hope was a little slackened. But if I get to know who and what I'm looking at, I think; "You see, just like I said, if I'm just fine, maybe it's possible." Really deep respect to you ... ❤️
Megan Nieuwendijk Thank you so much!!! You can do anything you put your mind to. Half of the rampers at my airline are women. It's not easy but if you have the right tools and learn how to stretch before and lift correctly, you should be fine. I'm not the strongest person, but your body builds up and you get used to it. Good luck and thanks for watching!!
This is definitely not a men only job. In fact, there are many areas where women seem to excel more than men, such as with the bulk cargo loaders. There are many different duties, but it IS a job that can cause you harm if done incorrectly. I am a small female human and I work primarily in the bagroom, and I love it. I am so much stronger today than I was even a week ago. In my area it's probably 40/60 women/men. Do your research, go apply, get through training, and see if it's still something you might be interested in.
Timika Winston Lol. I hear you. We only have to do one flight so I was able to get used to it. But I understand, I could not do multiple flights a day.
Timika Winston really? I’m so scared I won’t hang! Lol I start on Friday! And I’m a nervous wreck! I’m so out of shape. But I want to push through this! Lol maybe this will get me back in shape.
Damian Junior i've never gotten an increase in pay after a couple of months. Two out of three of my airlines I got a raise after one year. The other one, I work so few hours that I did not get a pay rate raise until I hit a certain amount of hours, and that was over a year.
Consider yourself lucky, at LGA I get about 4 turns a day. They can be mainlines or Rjs but some of those bags are heavvvvy! WTF do people pack in there!?
Ralph Gambino Lol!! I agree. Last Sunday we had such heavy bags! It was rough. I don’t think I could do 4 turns. That’s a little much for me! I’d have to go back to customer service. Lol.
Gerry Danata Have Emrites flight Saudia Saudi Gulf China Air China Air Arabia Turkish Here 2 days job 2 days off 12 hour shift and your how much off in a month and salary package ?
Been a ramp agent for 8 years honesty the stack could have been a lot better and you coulda have fit all those bags in one row honesty but be safe on the tarmac keep it up
@The Bohemian Traveler: I work full time for Marriott International and I have the chance to work for Delta part time as a ramp agent... Do you think Delta will be willing to work afternoons and evenings only since I don't get off until 2:00pm? Flight Benefits & Cheap Rooms I hope so.
Elliott Ness that would be so awesome if it worked out. I used to have a coworker who worked for the Hilton and Delta Airlines. That was such a wonderful combination. I don't know if Delta would be willing to do that. It will all depend upon your bid schedule that you get. I know when I recently got hired at Delta a few years ago, they told me that I could not shift trade for six months. I feel though since you did get hired at Delta, I would try it out and try to make it work. Good luck and let me know what happens. This is a great opportunity for you. Delta is the best airline to work for in my opinion.
The Bohemian Traveler Just wanted to ask you, I was told to bring csa approved safety boots to training. They had to go above my ankles. I’ve seen you working with below the ankle shoes. I’m wondering since we’re doing the same job why is it that they require different things?
Hawo Nur I’m not too sure.... Every company requires different things. Fortunately and unfortunately my airline does not require specific shoes. Yours sounds safer though. Congratulations on your new position!
Michael B Great question. It totally depends upon your airline. For instance Delta LAX requires five days a week four hours a day with no chance to trade shifts for six months. My airline is in a smaller station so we don't have to work as many hours. Our bids are from four to about 12 hours a week for part time agents. So in essence it depends upon your airline and station needs. Hope this helps!!
Michael B like she said, it all depends on which airline you're with. A lot of big carriers at good sized stations, the majority of agents are going to be full time with however many part timers are needed to fill any gaps.
I used to do this ! Consider stacking the bags with the flat side up vs soft side up. For me, it made the stack more stable. Also those bags that are curvy like the blue one you got at 3:05, those are perfect for corners! Like you'd flip it so that the blue side is facing down, right beside the green and blue bags at the right. Best of luck in there!
I know I’m only 11 🤣 and this could probably quickly change but I have always seemed to like the airport and the smell of jet fuel don’t ask maybe one day I’ll be a ramp agent
Dylan Koury Lol. They always say, whatever you wanted to do at 11 is what’s really in your heart. Stay in school and get your college degree. That way, you can still work for an airline and have the flexibility to do many things in the industry.
How often during the week do you work (how many days out the week)? Do they offer reserve work schedules like Delta, working a minimum of 150 hrs a year
Myia Thomas every airline is different. We used to work six hours a week. But now that I’m with another airline, my average is 15 hours a week. I do give away a lot of my hours so I’m averaging about seven working hours a week. We don’t have reserve at the airline I’m with now. But they do have relief lines-Where people work the lines of people that are going on vacation. I used to be ready reserve with Delta and absolutely loved it!!!
Nice work i live in pakistan i doing job in Gerry Danata Company and Daily 8 flights in night shift 12 hour shitf im Ramp loader + Aircraft cleaning and my duty is also remove chocks push back time but salary very low how much your salary ?
Livewire You have it so much better! I’m used to it. Thankfully my back is fine 🙏🏾. I only do one flight a shift so that saves me and I’m not always is the pit.
@@TheBohemianTraveler Yeah been there done that at International. Work over at Domestic now in Australia. 3-4 cans per flight plus a few cargo and thats it. A320 - Qantas and Jetstar. Nice socks!!! 😂
I don’t have a particular link. You can go to the airline that you would like to apply, put in the location, and then they will let you know if there are any jobs available. I know many places are hiring right now. I wish you all the best.
The Bohemian Traveler lucky you. Ive watched so many get fired for it. A couple left in bin one way ticket to cdg, another brand new s8 popped out of a buddies pocket ended under a a330 tire...
david rosenberg that generally doesn’t happen because we all look out for one another. Also, I’m not gonna let someone close the bin on me while I’m in there. Lol
Being a ramp attendent can be a rewarding experience . Every day you learn something new.its hard work but i love it 😀
Sharlene Tayli I totally agree!!Thanks for watching!
you should wear gloves to protect your hands ,loaded planes in australia for 18 years
Noel Maher you are 100% right. I never wear gloves and I know I should. OK , next shift I am going to try to remember to wear them. Good reminder.
Good thing you didn't have to put more than 25 bags in that pit
Nick Mooney I know!! I totally lucked out that flight. It was the rear pit.
The bin seemed to be kind of tall. It’s hard to move about 100 bags it gets old fast
Yah.. it depends.. on the loading instructional report coming from load control salute to you maam
Hey girl your videos with the jazz music makes me want to fly
Haha. Thank you!!
Love the crazy socks. Thanks for all the wonderful videos, start as a cargo ramper soon & your videos have answered many questions. 😀

Boeing Airbus Yay!!! You can do it! I'm excited for you on your new journey! Take care!!
Renny Perez Yes. Every airline is different and some can be really brutal.
Can you put on some back straps? To protect your back? Cool socks though 🙂
Don Elizalde Haha. Thanks! And yes you can. I don’t work without one.
nice socks, fashionable , not ugly at all

Hats off !!! I couldn’t hang I went to Customer service

The Bohemian Traveler yeah! see I was Full-Time 3 to 4 flights daily sometimes offload and then uploading 😰.... however I do miss it oddly enough
Timika Winston I couldn't hang with 3-4 either. Lol. I love it though. There is nothing like it.
Timika Winston really? I’m so scared I won’t hang! Lol I start on Friday! And I’m a nervous wreck! I’m so out of shape. But I want to push through this! Lol maybe this will get me back in shape.

When is nt a full loaded is not required to stack it to the top. It wasnt a full flight. So what she did was allright.
Nice video now after watching the vid I want to be a ramp agent.

I about to have my interview for ramper customer service
mltbassfishingtv matt 🙏🏾✊🏾 I hope you get it!
what are the basics things a person needs to know about Airports loading
I’m not the best with loading but making sure the super heavy bags are on the bottom really helps so you don’t have to lift them too high.
@@TheBohemianTraveler okay Thx
