[QUOTE="Turbo-J, post: 766329, member: 30320"] x100....air department is a totally different company Easier...yeah, maybe....but I think working on the ramp is more dangerous.... heres my opinion as I have worked both HUB... CONS you can get hurt not using the proper methods a "number" game...its all about productivity PROS the "most" you will ever lift is 150lbs indoors noise-not as loud as a plane taxing AIR DEPARTMENT CONS weather conditions slips trips and falls rules go right out the window, when you're loading/pushing ULD'S in the plane pushing/pulling 2000+ lb dollies & ULD's...an invitation to all sorts of injuries improper bending of the back when hooking up dollies, good chance of missing locks and the dolley you're hooking up begins to pinch you between the 2 dollies strict rules from FAA & UPS on plane procedures and policies noise-hearing damage PROS idle time, standing by waiting for ULDS, plane arrivals not as physically demanding as the hub [/QUOTE]
