I recall even in Boston with Swissair--ground loading and handling was done
by Hudson General--$5.00 an hour East Boston kids,got NO training and usually
quit within 6 weeks so no one knew how to do anything except 2-3 supervisors
covering 35 acft at the same time. I t was up to people like me to climb into
the damn thing and double check the locks etc were in place with all the pallets
and containers. As everyone trys to save a buck this can happen very easily
these days...because there is no one left to climb in and double check........
