You bet, great channel with interesting content! It was a rather small turbo prop that we had to load, it was nothing like loading an A320 or 737! The 320 is a common type rating with no additional training required. You do have to be aware of the increased tail length so you don’t hit the tail on a 321 and there are other minor differences between all 3 variants. Unlike the type rating on the 767 which also gives you the type rating on the 757 after a short differences course. And vice versa. 😊

Yes! So each bag is designated as 34lbs. Except if they are marked “heavy”, their weight is calculated at 55 lbs. We have a weight and balance sheet with a load plan for each flight that we adhere to. We know how many bags are needed in each compartment to keep that plane weighted correctly for that specific flight.

Nice to see a woman who isn't afraid of doing hard physical labor like this, and doing what is usually a "man's job".

When I used to work in the airline industry, ladies that liked to stay in shape and had high seniority to bid whatever shift they wanted, they picked the cooler beautiful seasons to do some ramp work and get some physical work done. In e summer hit and hurricane season, they went back to gate or ticket counter, smart ones

If I may suggest, when attempting to get the pilot's attention and approval for disconnect, carry some 2-4" river rocks in your pocket and toss them at the side window to get their attention. That technique could be adopted across the airline and get you huge praise with management.
