- Come along and see what I see on a daily basis as an airline ramp agent. I highlight in this video everything from pushing aircraft, marshalling, bag running, unloading/loading cargo bins, wing walking and more!
I love my job as a ramp agent and very proud to work for this company. The fact that I'm around these planes everyday and work with a great group of people makes this an amazing job. I love going to work everyday to experience new challenges and I take pride in what I do.
Not included in this video is jobs like deicing, lavatory service, and provisioning just to name a few but important jobs.
People may think we are low life's and don't care about people bags, but most are far from that. I care for everyone's bags as my own and dispatch these planes like I have family on them. I use my amazing benefits to visit places I've always wanted to see and visit people I miss.
That fact is most ramp agents CARE! Its the few that don't that give us a bad name. So the next time you see a ramp agent or as other companies call them baggage handlers, don't think of them as low life's; most have families and we all work out in whatever weather nature throws at us to get your plane out on time.
And if you're someone like me and loves being around airplanes, try and get a job as a ramp agent. It's your ticket into these great companies where the possibilities are endless. I known I'm very happy where I am and look forward to where my career will go!
Hi Benjamin I am a ramp agent too (B6 SJU) , and I understand your point of view. Most of the people see us as like you said low life,ignorant and people with no education but they are wrong. We belong to an special group of people that have the pleasure of see this aircrafts so close that we can touch them,fell them and work with and for them. I care like you, like if my family its flying in or out off those planes because for us everyone is family and important as can be. So for those people out there being a Ramp Agent is one of the most important jobs in the airline industry because without us you can get to your vacation on time, see your family on time or get to your work on time and we do it with pride and joy.
+Juan Sierra Exactly! I love this job and am proud to work in this industry!
Beautiful airplanes & outstanding views, thumbs up!
+PlaneWorldBerlin Thank you very much!
Great video my friend. I just got hired on at SWA. I have my flight to Chicago on the 6th of October. I worked on the flight deck in the Navy. I always flew SWA back home to STL and the flight crew made all veterans and servicemen and women feel welcomed. Thats why I wanted to work for SWA.
Great Video. Starting at the airport next week as a rampie in an industry I've wanted to work in since I was 5yo. Can't wait.

How is the best way to study for the training test? Like memorizing all the airport codes there is so many to memorize it’s crazy
most of them are pretty easy, others like nashville(BNA) I remember it as Boots n' Ass in nashville, or New Orleans(MSY) its always messy. You get the jist just create I guess a jingle
By the way, I'm not too far out from BDL, im out at ROC!!
Bradley is my home airport
What airport do you work at? PDX? LAX?
bdl
Benjamin Gebo Where is BDF?
Melinda Hall he said BDL
I retired from SWA-Oak. I enjoyed my time as a ramp agent and then as a Operations agent. A total of ten yeats.
Why is it loaded to the ceiling? Our rules say there has to be 4 inches of clearance. It's a bitch to unload half the time. Our rules are probably different since it's cargo. FedEx Express IND.
Alex M It's just a thing, if you can't find a bag there then there's usually gaps opened up like 4 inches cleared
We have red tape around to keep us from stacking to the roof. We'll get slapped with an FAA safety violation if we do it. Damages the plane too if people aren't careful chucking the bags around. You've probably seen all the speed tape in the compartment lol
