I heard that free flights were first class, is it true?
That is not always true. If there are fifteen people on standby waiting for a seat... You get whatever seat is left or you will get on the next flight if it is possible. You can be the last person on the standby list and you may not get on the flight. Seniority is a priority!
I'm literally doing it just to travel for free like that alone makes it insane
Most people are honestly.
*I work as a ramper too! I agree, the military bags are so floppy, but huge and HEAVY. great list and video!* :)
The military bags are the worst.
The 99 pound giant duffel bags with the 6 flimsy wheels on the bottom are my bane on international flights

#7 is my favorite “free flights” ✈️✈️✈️
Awesome video, thanks for the sharing your insight,
Great video thanks for the info! 😁
You had me at "work outdoor".
AA over here. Transferring from atl to sna. I worked at delta back in 2004. Loved it. LOVE the benefits, the top out pay, the union....hell, everything lol
Robert Smith Its very easy working on the ramp. Especially when working with good co workers. 😂
I applied for fleet service clerk a month ago at AA how long does the hiring process take? Will they let me know if I’m even being considered? Just concerned because I’m willing to place other job offers on hold for this one 😩
@@daliagomez6144 at this time, the hiring process is on freeze....UNLESS, you are willing to come to orange county

@@hl6859 honestly my friend that’s already a lead referred me and I had no prior experience so I’m assuming you have to know someone already in the industry but then again idk you should maybe you’ll land an interview.
@@hl6859 search indeed
Your voice is so soothing
*This job looks fun. I’ve seen it recently I started traveling solo. I’m like omg why didn’t I work this job or even know about it. Congratulations on this job. I see y’all having fun when I’m on the ✈️. I just be staring like 👀👀😁😁🤣🤣🤣*
Go ahead and apply. Free flights and unlimited traveling. As of right now I wouldn’t travel, but once everything is back in order.
What airline you work for as ramp agent? Cuz I'm interested to apply again knowing since covid happened 🤦♂️
@@oseimorris5020 have u applied
@It'sDJjayy I've tried applied and they denied me. Even when renew applied again still denied
@It'sDJjayy I jus applied yesterday. I applied this job since 2021 3 times in one year. But did applied this time and see what happens. But I don't have anyone I know of who can reference me
Awesome video!!! I have a group interview this Wednesday…was nervous about it at first but after watching your video I’m excited!!!!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad that I can help. You got that interview too. Do not feel nervous or overwhelmed.
@@ShortFUNMIA Thank you!!!!!!
@@morganmccaden9277 If you can take a resume with you. Just be yourself and stand out from everyone else. You can do it.
@@ShortFUNMIA Ok I’ll do that. I’ll let you know how it went
You‘re chilling it out.👍🏻👀
I'm surprised that you chose free flight benefits as #7. Thst would be the only reason for me to work for an airline lol. I even thought about it at times but i hate being on my feet lol
I just got hired for delta as a ramp agent I’m excited
@@shanekslife752Congratulations to you 🎊🎊 How do you like it so far? I'm trying to go for a ramp cleaner but nervous
I have an interview Monday for a small airport. . I hope I get it. Enjoyed your video
Congratulations to you! You will do great on your interview. Thank you for watching
And I can move and keep the job, what a blessing,
It’s a great blessing. I hope that you enjoy it.
Very informative! Thank you in 2023
You're welcome 🤗
This is a GREAT video. How long is the training? Thanks for your time!
Training is 3 to 4 days in a class room then 7 days with your trainer out on the ramp I am a ramp agent for Menzies Aviation at Tampa International Airport
@@scottgrant8653 thanks for the info 👍🏽👍🏽
I applied cause I like physical work also the travel was a big plus.
Yes, indeed. The traveling is what I loved too.
Heyv I love watching your videos.i know you no longer ste in this line of work but I want to know and asking because I haven't seen any videos what exactly does a RAMP CLEANER does? And which part are the cleaners clean is it inside or outside because this the position I'm going for but want to know exactly what it entails.please please respond I would greatly appreciate it!🙏🏾🤗
I'm beyond excited, after working 3 years here at MIA, i am finally joining AA as an agent. Can't wait to start 🙌🏼
how do you like it so far?
@@scuddybuddy7432 haven't started yet, my luck got covid so it's gonna be at least another month or so before I start 😏
@@j3st3rjok3r sorry to hear that! hope you make a speedy recovery !
Cool and very informative video. 🙏🏽😷
Enjoyed the video! Starting training Monday. I'm the type to stay ready so do you have any advice on gear like knee pads, gloves for the winter, ear muffs, boots.. Etc.
Whoop whoop! 🎉🎉
Congratulations! You will definitely need knee pads, gloves, and ear muffs. The company that you will work for should provide work uniforms including boots. However Meijer usually has a buy one get one a dollar for composite or steel toe boots. You’ll need a lot of layers for the winter snce it will be snowing. I like to wear thermal pajama pants underneath my cargo work pants. Hand warmers doesn’t keep my hands warm, however you still can purchase some. I know Delta provided uniforms and boots.
If your still on the ramp? Pay for real good boots! Cold weather gear! And rain gear! Buy a pair of rubber boots to go over your boots! ALWAYS WEAR HEARING PROTECTION even in the bag room! Loud Constant noises is what causes hearing loss!! Good luck!
Thanks for the insight! Just applied for ramp agent at LAX. How long is hiring process overall?
The hiring process can take longer than a month. It depends on how fast the company is. It also depends on how many people are hired. My hiring process took three months
Thank you. Very informative!
You are welcome!
To me 1-20 would have to be free travel benefits. Everything else is simply what you have to deal with to get those flight benefits.
For those who are built for it, being a ramp agent is one of the most fun entry level jobs you can have, but as far as entry level goes, it’s probably the most difficult to understand everything. Most rewarding though
Yeah, definitely. Unfortunately many airlines here in Australia where I am outsource to external companies. Because of this you don’t get any of the airline benefits so no flight benefits etc which sucks.
Awesome video!
One question - do you prepare the Loadsheets / Weight & Balance training?
Greetings from SOF and BOJ :)
Very informative and yeah there's pros and cons. Swissport International ain't no joke as ramp agent.
Why??
@@rn4465 work you like a slave
@@samuelblackwell3762 i have an interview with them in upcoming week. Can you let me know more about them
@@bilalsuman3131 since they've finally raised minimum wage to 18/hr the workload is still to much and they'll work you almost every single day of the week
Thank you needed this
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
What's funny is that people like the free/discounted travel but you also need the $$$$ spending money
My pops just retired from American Airlines and every time he worked in the cold weather, he was always getting sick
Thanks for the info. Do you still get paid in downtime during your shift due to weather in-climate?
Yes, you do still get paid. As long as you are on the clock you will be paid.
Thank you for your message regarding, wanting to become Ramp Agent 😊
Hello MIA, thank you for your reply. Are there any tips you can help me with,
as far as the written examination/test, for a Ramp Agent is concerned. Would be very helpful for me
Everything that you will need to study will be given to you for the written exam. Make sure that you study.
@@ShortFUNMIAHi Mia, how are you doing? Just out of interest, I guess parts of fhe exam would be about weights & balancing, baggage loading, shipping costs, Keroin cost, identity dangerous goods regulations, keeping in contact with the captain in case of any changes. Also being responsible for the arrival and departure. Of the air craft. I'm sure there's a lots more to learn? Bless have a nice day 🙂
@@dennisbatchelor3814 Depending on whichever airline you are taking the test for the company provides packets of information that you will have to look over. It is a lot of information similar to everything that you listed. Especially the different aircrafts and signals to communicate with the captain while doing an outbound flight or inbound flight.
@@ShortFUNMIA hello Mia, hope your fine 😀 I just want to let you kbo, that I am living in Berlin Germany, this is why the time line is a few hours different. I really respect your answer. I am just a little bit afraid., because it would] great to know. More rom your test information, which could hell me. Stay win touch
As a former ramp agent i have to say it was a lot of fun in summer I use to take the water pipe and pour it on my head too cool off I Felt like I was in a water park
Hashtag Air Canada Ramp
Yikes I cant imagine how it will be when working in Texas or Arizona during summer
If 'ready reserve' were three days, then that would be 20+ hours and qualify as part-time. What's the difference?
this is dream to work at an airline hopefully 1 day
by chance do you know what the computer training is called and what it consist of ? i just got my "temporary " badge today and the lady told me it'll be about a week while they get the results of my finger prints then they'll call me to do the computer training but for the life of me i can't remember the name it said it starts with a S
Nice , I have an interview for menzies on friday , would you recommend the fuler position as well ?
I ´ ve never worked for that company. I did know somone who for Menzies and that person liked it. You can always switch to another company with the airport if you do not like fueling.
@@ShortFUNMIA thanks, Is it easy to switch too a ramp agent if i wanted too ?
@@DoubleGFineseYou would have a better chance at being hired
What fed express grounds crew how many hours can you work
When your applying for the job do you have to pass a physical ability test?
For the larger airline companies such as American Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines require a physical ability test. I had worked for a subsidiary for Delta. Which did not require a physical ability test. However it did require a lot of assessments.
I want to be able to work at the airport but I also want to be able to be off on holidays to spend time with my family
You should give it a try to see if you’d like working at the airport. Sometimes it is difficult to get holidays off.
Holidays are the best time because people travel
I agree everyone wants to have holidays off weekends off two spend time with family friends.
OMG... i burned up... i did appreciate the communication though... you can be aware as long as you got some peeps who can respect and assist you in your work details... you gotta be able to slug them bags and look good doing it...
Besides the heat how do you like it so far?
I’m currently waiting to attend ramp class. I super nervous. Anything I should study on besides airport codes
Frankly you will be fine. Airport codes are important. After the interview you will be trained on airport codes, how to load the luggage, and everything else. I know when I had my interview I googled questions and when it was time for the interview it was nothing like expected.
Great video, i am also work as a ramp agent..
How do you like it?
@@ShortFUNMIA yes, definately
By unlimited travel are you saying y’all get on flights while transporting bags? Or is it only on off days? Just got hired btw!
No, the person has to work the flight for the flight to depart. You’re able to fly on your off days though
awesome video, cant wait to apply, what is the salary though??
Delta is hiring right now. Go for it
I enjoyed your video thanks for the information. Please i wish if to be ramp agent, do need a specific certifications or training before applying??
You don’t need any specific training to work on a ramp
I started my first day tomorrow as a ramp agent
Congratulations! You’re going to like being a ramp agent. Also, you’re going to love traveling.
Youre beautiful. respect your job.
Hey so I just got the job as a ramp agent, would you possibly mind doing a video on living in atl with this job? I’m not from the area and I’m curious if this is a job worth relocating for. I’m worried the pay isn’t enough for the cost of living
Hey!
Congratulations to you! Let me know how you like being a ramp agent. I actually live in Detroit. I have a a lot of videos showing what I did as a ramp agent.

@@milya561 It’s perfectly fine. I that Atlanta is the main hub for Delta airlines. Detroit used to be a main hub however I believe it is no longer. Have fun and travel a lot. Let me know how you like it.
You’re welcome.

Congratulations
Success to you
ShortFUNMIA Thanks
Miller snow Thanks
Love Jones how it go?
So I just got offered a position as a ramp agent but also just received my A&P.. do you think there's room to grow from a ground ops to a mechanic?
Congratulations to you! It is a lot of opportunities for growth within the airport. Yes, I do believe that you can transition over. I know for Delta Aircraft maintenance / mechanic do well. Go for it.
@@ShortFUNMIA thank you so much!! just needed confirmation, don’t want to dedicate & then waste time
How long before they let you use your flight benefits
@@Thesevendadonn you’re able to use your flight benefits the day of your hire date
Congrats! I’m starting as a ramp agent next week and hoping to get in to aircraft maintenance through the role, so it’s good to see I’m not alone 😁 hope you’re enjoying it
I can't understand you at 3:17. something, something, "bags" where you have to interact with the passengers. What are you saying?
Question can you fly any class i know they said first class but what about business
Fab video.
Do you get benefits if you work part time or ready reserve?
Most airlines give employees flight benefits for full time, part time, seasonal workers
@@ShortFUNMIA What kind of hourly salary can one expect living in Los Angeles? Again, thanks for that lovely video and Happy turkey 🦃 day!
@@alonshalit5778 It depends on what airline you are hired for. You can check online to see the beginning pay. For Delta it was $19.
Are there any transfer opportunities? If I started to work in Philly but wanted to transfer to LA. If there is transfer opportunities, how does that work? Thank you, great info!
Yes, you can transfer to other departments and cities. It’s always is a option. I’m unsure how the transfer process works. When your hired you can inquire about transferring to different locations.
@@ShortFUNMIA sorry had another question, does your training happen at the location you apply for or do you travel out for for your training?
@@emmanueldelacruz5453 I applied to Detroit so, I trained at that airport for the ramp agent position. I do believe flight attendants are the only people who travel to Florida… somewhere warm to train and be certified flight attendants.
#5 How are you meeting so many people from all over the world when you don't interact with passengers? Even if you did occasionally talk to one of them for some reason, it wouldn't be very often or very long.
True but even a glimpse of meeting is still meeting someone
How do you get promoted tho what do you think punctual and what else ?
Promotions are available. Whenever a position is available you can ask managers or a general manager what other qualifications are needed.
Winter is ok for me, untill the ski flights start
Yes, those are the worst.
After applying for a job online, would you follow up by telephone with airline’s human resource headquarter office or at a point of contact for the airline at the airport which you applied?
Lady, thanks for all your aspirations.
You can contact them by phone or email. If it's been more than two weeks you can contact management. It usually takes time.
@@ShortFUNMIA would you follow up at the airport which you applied at or at let’s say Deltas human resource headquarters office?
sorry if this question bothers.
Thanks again.
@@alonshalit5778 It took me several months to receive a email stating that I was accepted for the job. When I received a email stating that I was accepted it took even longer to get my fingerprint and background check. I didn't email anyone because I was accepted for the job even though it took over several months for my start date. I'd suggest you contact someone.
Would you suggest buying a back brace or cross fit belt?
Yes, I would recommend a back brace. I never wore one while working however some of my coworkers mentioned it helped them.
I sent you a voice audio message on IG.
Did you have to bring/show your high school diploma during the interview process ?
No, however you have to list a GED or high school diploma on your application. I would recommend that you bring your resume to the interview
I just got offered a position with Envoy for AA. I want them free flights lol.
Yes, free flights! That’s the main reason people work for the airlines
One question... do you get overtime?
Angel FPS During the pandemic overtime hasn’t been available since flights have declined
I’m kinda short will this be a problem I just applied on indeed 😬
I’m only 4ft 11inches. If I can do it anyone can. You’ll be fine. 👍🏾
Video interview in the A.M. with United
Ah man on my downtime I’ll be writing on my script
do we have to have a high school diploma?
How can I apply on a airport ram agent for ontario ca you know where should I go to apply
U found out?
How soon after employment do you get travel perks?
You can travel after you complete training
I just started Airport Ramp Agent with dnata seeing if we get free travel?
Unless you're in dubai most likely not
Any tips on getting to the interview? I’ve put in tons of applications and haven’t gotten a response.
Have you applied through indeed? Usually you have a better chance at getting a interview.
My question is what descont did you get in hotel and how many flights you get
Did you have to give personal references for all you security clearances, like USPS, FBI, and FAA? I have plenty of them, but I'm tired of bothering them with phone calls as to my character, and reference forms to fill out and mail in. No one should be subjected to that for years on end.
Can you transfer bases anytime you want?
Yes, you can transfer. However I’d recommend transferring after six months. You’re more than welcome to ask whenever you get hired.
quick quetion i have my learner's permit but not the 2nd level driver lisense the one that you can drive on highways but i can kinda drive like a beginner. s will i be able to be hired. im planning to get the 2nd level of my driver licnese in a few months due to getting my license late.
You need a valid driver's license. I'd suggest that you wait until you get your license.
@@ShortFUNMIA I have my license in Canada you get your license call the g1 where you can drive but not on highways or stuff like that
So I just got an interview date but I have a full time job already, how should I go about the interview with doing both? And can I only work certain shifts?
People do work full time jobs and work for the airlines. You could work a part time or seasonal position. Honestly it’s all about seniority and what you bid for. Example: You’ll have to bid 30 lines and get whatever shift. Favorite shift to least favorite shift.
@@ShortFUNMIA Thanks for the information.
I got the job, I start training February 7th. What should I expect, what should l need to know before I get there so I’m not surprised??
@@patbenoit2862 LET’S GO!
That’s great! What department will you work in? Expect a lot of information. I know for training for the ramp for Delta I had both a quiz for book work and city code quiz.
Ground ops
Do u still work there??
Are there a lot of women working as ramp agents? I just got the job at the atl airport as a ramp agent but I’m scared!!
Yes, it is a lot of men and women that are ramp agents. I know Delta was hiring for Ticket agent/Ramp agent a few weeks ago
I'm curious does this Detla ramp got to have experience for Ramp agent?
Zero experience is need to work as a ramp agent. Everyone gets trained
@@ShortFUNMIA thank you I appreciate it. I'm interested to join Detla Ramp agent and I know it not hiring yet due covid 19. But hopefully for me to apply whenever it's opening hiring.
@@oseimorris5020 I believe American Airlines is hiring. I know it was a few weeks ago though, however check out American.

Thanks for watching. Lol.
SWA is the BEST
I am from the Philippines and i would like to fly abroad and be a ramp agent...Is it true the ramp agents makes a lot of money there?
You can apply online. It depends on what airline you work for. Different airlines have different hourly pay.
How long does it take after taking the assessment Queen ?
It depends on the airline.
I just got hired I’m be starting July 3
Congratulations!
@@ShortFUNMIA appreciate it 😎 how was the checks
Do part timers get benefits as well?
Yes they do !
What about with Airport Ramp Agents with dnata? I just started my first day
@@christhomas4113 were you able to chose which days you worked as part time ?
Hi I have a question do airport's hire ppl with a background or will they hold that against you
Background checks are done if you want to work at the airport.
I know that but if you're upfront with them would they hire you or hold it against you
The airport is considered government property so i don’t know if it would be held against you. Criminal background is asked.
Frankly, when you go for background check you will get finger printed and drug tested.
Im not sure if it’ll be held against you. Applying doesn’t hurt. Go for it.
Might meet celebrities
W vid
Btw dont bother applying if you dont have a drivers license because they will immediately deny you. I learned the hard way.
It’s very important to have your license especially since it’s a lot of driving. How old are you?
@@ShortFUNMIA 21
@@gandey2k once you pass your driving exam you should apply again.
@@ShortFUNMIA yeah that's what i was planning on doing cause I applied to like 3 different ones at jfk for delta and cargo agent and they wasted no time denying me😂
Got an interview tomorrow with AA😬
Congratulations on your interview with American Airlines! You will do great in the interview.
Have you ever hurt your back?
#7 Do they have computers set up where you can check the flight loads so you don't get stuck standby somewhere? What good is a one day trip if you only have to turn around and come back? Do they have a system set up where you can work someone's days in exchange for them working your days, so that you can string together several days off? Which airlines have you worked for?
Can I still become one without my drivers license?
No
Can you ask for assistance when lifting military luggage?
Whenever you need help with lifting military luggage you should always ask for help. People are more than willing to help.
4:30 am to 2:30 pm? 10 hour shifts loading baggage? wth, what are you union dues paying for with those kind of abusive hours
delta is non union
My dad told me it’s not worth it!! Free flight benefits ain’t nothing lol waiting for standby every time I don’t think so lmao
I don’t know if your dad is aware… Employee’s are able to purchase tickets for a cheaper rate than the average passenger. Which means it is a guaranteed seat on the flight.
Thanks for watching
@@ShortFUNMIA my dads been a ramp agent for over 38 years n just retired three months
@@ShortFUNMIA not if your working for AA
@@ayoooapparel6855 Well, I don’t know anything about AA. I know Delta allows employees to buy tickets for cheaper or do standby.
Now let’s say you have a significant other. Can he/she fly with out one being there at the flight with them ?
Yes, your significant other or adult child is able to fly without having the person who works for the airline
