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!

Most people are honestly.

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

@@GrapeFlavoredAntifreezefacts

YES! Congratulations! Have fun and stay safe.

@@ShortFUNMIA thank you ! So far it’s been great love driving the Tugs around the airport

@@ramirezcarlos323213 @shortfunmia Hi how does one get hired in this role? Networking? Or some kind of related prior experience?

@@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

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

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

You're welcome 🤗

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

@@robertsmith20022 How does one get into this job? Networking?

@@hl6859 well, what city are you in?

It’s a great blessing. I hope that you enjoy it.

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.

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 !

Yes, indeed. The traveling is what I loved too.

Congratulations

Success to you

ShortFUNMIA Thanks

Miller snow Thanks

Love Jones how it go?

Yikes I cant imagine how it will be when working in Texas or Arizona during summer

Congratulations to you! You will do great on your interview. Thank you for watching

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

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 👍🏽👍🏽

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

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

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.

True but even a glimpse of meeting is still meeting someone

You are welcome!

@@Mika-dray You are allowed to have nails. I don't recommend long nails because you have to wear gloves when you are a ramp agent and you can break a nail because of the heavy bags or freight.

Thanks. I have a interview coming up and I’m excited because I like to do physical work, in any weather

@@Mika-dray congratulations! You'll enjoy working as a 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

Whenever you need help with lifting military luggage you should always ask for help. People are more than willing to help.

You can travel after you complete training

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.

Yes, you do still get paid. As long as you are on the clock you will be paid.

Yes, we received free parking. In Detroit employees had a very large parking lot. I’m unsure about other cities though.

Promotions are available. Whenever a position is available you can ask managers or a general manager what other qualifications are needed.

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

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!

delta is non union

Angel FPS During the pandemic overtime hasn’t been available since flights have declined

At DGS I had to write down that I had a Highschool diploma on the application. I didn’t have to show proof unless I was asked.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

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.

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.

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 ?

U found out?

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.

@@ShortFUNMIA Thank you so much, sorry for some reason I thought atl I may have gotten you mixed up. I’ve watched a lot of your videos thanks for taking the time out of your day to do those

@@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.

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

Congratulations! You’re going to like being a ramp agent. Also, you’re going to love traveling.

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.

Besides the heat how do you like it so far?

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.

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

You don’t need any specific training to work on a ramp

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

Yes, you can transfer. However I’d recommend transferring after six months. You’re more than welcome to ask whenever you get hired.

Yes, your significant other or adult child is able to fly without having the person who works for the airline

Yes, free flights! That’s the main reason people work for the airlines

No, the person has to work the flight for the flight to depart. You’re able to fly on your off days though

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

It depends on the airline.

Yes, those are the worst.

You can apply online. It depends on what airline you work for. Different airlines have different hourly pay.

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

Unless you're in dubai most likely not

Congratulations!

@@ShortFUNMIA appreciate it 😎 how was the checks

I’m only 4ft 11inches. If I can do it anyone can. You’ll be fine. 👍🏾

How do you like it?

@@ShortFUNMIA yes, definately

Jasmine Jasmine Hey! I’m doing great! Delta Airlines

@@ShortFUNMIA thanks dear😘

@@ShortFUNMIA do you work at Chicago ohare airport

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

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.

Yes, the pay increases every year for Delta airlines.

@@ShortFUNMIA Thank You for your reply, wondering i just got hire for AA

@@daisyespinosa4805 Congratulations! I’m not sure if AA is paid yearly. It maybe similar.

@@ShortFUNMIA Thank You, I will find out along the way.

@@daisyespinosa4805 Have fun! Will you work above or below wing?

Delta is hiring right now. Go for it

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.

Yes, you do.

Ramp agents are paid biweekly

@@ShortFUNMIA That's not good I was hired by Piedmont Airlines recently DCA REAGAN NATIONAL AIRPORT just outside of Washington, DC.

@@tonycherry8576 I do agree. I’ve had a job that paid me weekly. Which was very great. I prefer weekly than biweekly

It depends on what airline you want to work at. Go to the airline website and click career.

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.
