Strike talk reaching mainstream media

No contractors in the ramp or hub. I use to see a cleaning service vehicle parked over at AMDC which is the aircraft parts wharehouse, but haven't in a while. That's good because that is how I had to go full time. It was a hub/housekeeping combo job.

How many ramp employees does Louisville have???

Do I look like I’m black??? Come on ....

LMAO it is from a song buddy. By the way why does Leroy Brown have to be black....Jim Croce

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

I am really not sure. I know we can park 135 aircraft. The next biggest is Rockford and they can only hold 26. Topside crews range in number from 5-8 employees and that isn't counting tug drivers. We have an 8 man crew and do 3-4 planes a night. Some crews do more, some less.

The tower is on UPS property but handles commercial SDF flights as well.

Only when some sob pisses me off.

There are some gateways that use all contracted crews that are overseen by a few part time sups and a couple full timers... I’d be curious if ky was the only place that had actual ups employees on the ramp..

I can guarantee you there are zero contractors on the ramp. We do have an outside vendor that supplies food, drink, toiletries and linens to the cockpit. Their name is Air To Ground and are right down the street.

That pisses me off and is unnecessary.
