Vantaggi
None whatsoever. No flight benefits and insurance very expensive.
Svantaggi
The basics: 1. You have to be signed off for job duties, and if you’re not, you’re supposed to be watched by a supervisor, but supervisors under the manager regularly order you to do things you’re not signed off for, without supervision, and then you’re burned for it by the manager, which makes no sense whatsoever. 2. The BCT management plays favorites, and appoints management roles based on nepotism and cronyism. Sign offs are also awarded by the same factors, and have no rhyme or reason whatsoever. 3. Despite a supposed comprehensive safety culture, management regularly overlooked constant safety SOP violations, including one where I was nearly seriously injured. 4. Low pay compared to other airline ramp jobs. Tips are not to make up for it. Chances to work extra hours are few, and overtime is sporadic and unpredictable.
