2 жыл бұрынOk I Love This Job. This time we are pushing back an Airbus A320 NEO from the gate. As an international Airport Ramp Agent, ground services can be challenging but also fun and rewarding during daily airport operations.

@SuperMcfly12 Жыл бұрын
@@davidsmiths5471 ....wtf are you talking about? The ramp's walk around? Do you think they're doing a preflight walk around or something? They're walk around is to ensure all doors and panels are closed, chocks are pulled, and maybe catch any leaking fluids or something obvious. Not sure what that has to do with my comment though.

As I have been pushing planes back for over 10 years, I have had many flight deck crews ask me to speed up, push faster, as so on. I work in ATL...... I usually start pretty slow and speed up as I continue to push. But sadly with some of the equipment we have some of the push back tugs dont work very well, and when pushing slow, is when I get asked to speed up

@@omarlopez-uf4yp I’m no longer working this job, however I can tell you that it’s pretty simple to obtain. For me, all I had to do was find a ramp agent position on Indeed, another job finding website, or even the website of the airline you wish to work for. You’ll apply, perhaps get an interview, and if you are hired, you are sent to your airline’s training facility for a few days to be trained, tested, and certified as a ramp agent. Not sure if Blu’s experience was similar to mine but hope this gives you some idea of the process involved. My advice for new ramp agents: once on the job, always ask questions and always listen to your fellow agents, they are your guides. a lot of your training and experience will come by watching, and doing, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.

To see the differences between companies is crazy. At the airline I’m at, mechanics are on the headset, pushbacks are rougher (there are no passengers), and we start right (Boeing), 2 (airbus), or 3 (MD) first. Awesome job my guy. Keep up the great videos.

Great work man! I so appreciate what you do as an airside worker who just LOVES driving airside doing fuelups and other jobs. Kinda surprised that you gave the pilot the green light to fire up the engines with you still turning, and potentially in the "suction path" still? I guess things are at relatively low revs initially.
