Doug/Airline: Are you talking about 'ramp agents' or the 'check-in sky-caps' on the concourse levels? If the former, then you don't need much, but rampers are usually training in the ground operations of the plane and then you're off to the company training camp (where ever. When I worked for America West it was Orange County, CA) or maybe some apprentice stuff on site. Good luck.
