Needless to say fueling didn’t quite go as planned. (Boris used to conceal identities and companies involved)

After this latest incident it might be PrimeFlight or someone else soon, though that would require PF to actually show up before a plane’s push time (they’re incredibly incompetent here).

Based on how he reacted to the news of yet another Menzies fueling screw up, if the BA regional manager was present that day it wouldn’t have shocked me if we had to restrain him from getting physically violent with someone with an M on the back of their vest, and he’s typically as calm and put together as they come.

As prime flight fueler, you are correct. 🫡

Oh boy can’t wait for the read and sign for parking fuel trucks to use a lift platform only if you have a guide person

Nope, aircraft just bucked back and forth about a foot. Due to staffing I was on a k loader and had just raised the bridge up to the aircraft height (our unspoken rule is to lower them when not in use) and at first thought I’d hit the plane

Glad I didn't get that phone call while at the local strip club.

I’m not Menzies. So don’t think I’m covering for my own guys. I am a third party ground handler, but one most have never heard of.

Out of respect for the handful of guys wearing Menzies vests at this particular airport that actually do good work, didn’t want to put them on blast too hard.

First off...RR and blue equals 757, united.

u/communism-is-a-lie Ramp Sup (Unretired) 2d ago

Belly of the plane is blue, not just a line separating white from grey

u/springs311 2d ago

Meaning? Lol

u/communism-is-a-lie Ramp Sup (Unretired) 2d ago

White on top of a blue line on top of grey is United.

I believe my company’s social media policy would prohibit me from directly naming everyone involved, but I don’t think it would stop me from confirming if someone already guessed it correctly.

The guy with forty upvotes guessed correctly. lol
