    now i understand that once you drop your checked bag off you dont handle it until you pic it up but most of the times fragile items have been broken is because of ramp agents just tossing them onto the belt. i also understand the time limits you have but this small aircraft leaving late at night or early morning is not going to be late when no one is there yet.

    • @AircraftPitCrew
      @AircraftPitCrew  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Fragile items are usually damaged during flight due to improper loading and stacking. Also it’s worth noting most items get damaged when loading 737s or A321s. Their longer bins require us to throw the bags. Another contributing factor for damaged items is the type of bag you are using. Two wheel bags are thrown 90% of the time because the inability to roll and four wheel bags roll to the agent stacking the bags.
      Those early morning flights have 45 minutes from the time we start. At 15 minutes prior the plane is fully loaded and boarded. From 0400-0750 we have 6 flights go out with a crew of 6-8 working the entire ramp.

      @@AircraftPitCrew you are not telling me nothing i dont already know and even as a ramp agent, probably better than you. my family members are the ones you direct in to apply the brakes and etc. they are the pilots and have been for years. grandpa is a retired delta pilot, lear test pilot and 1985 dallas L1011 crash investigator. his oldest son you might have heard of as being THE union rep for captain sully, and this is his son my cousin www.youtube.com/@flywithgarrett
      unless there is turbulence which most pilots try and avoid, the damage comes from the checked bag again to the hundreds of miles of conveyor belts under the airport to get our bags to the proper trailer for the flight, to your hands, to the destination ramp agent hands to the baggage claim inside the airport but most people will see you as the one handling their bag so they blame you for things being broken because no matter how you wrap an item, you are taking a risk to put it in your checked bag.

      Sounds like improper packing of said fragile items. These guys don’t have time to delicately place each and every bag and suitcase in the ramps etc. Otherwise every plane would be leaving 3 hours past scheduled. People need to use common sense.

    With the suitcases loaded like that, how hard is it to find one if it belongs to a passenger that didn’t board the flight?

    • @AircraftPitCrew
      @AircraftPitCrew  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s very difficult with bigger flights. If it wasn’t loaded towards the end then we typically won’t get it. Delta will ship it for free or return it to your local airport. The only time we will get the bag and delay the flight is if you have medication in there.
      However if you still plan on making another flight your bag will be waiting for you at your destination.

      I can’t speak for other airlines or airports, but at the BOI airport Delta takes great care of your animals. During the winter and summer we keep the animals inside of our office and if somehow you leave and your pet doesn’t well take care of it until we can get it on a new flight. And yes typically animals travel with the luggage. Sometimes if there isn’t much luggage we can put them in their own section but generally that’s not the case.

      @AircraftPitCrew  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The company didn’t like that my video featured so many people breaking rules. Since I was part of leadership I was the guy who took the fall and well I was also the guy with the camera. The company holds firm that it was because of me being in leadership (most likely for legal reasons).

    probably got fired when he filmed the inside of baggage hall where cameras are not allowed and talking about things that are not task related.

    • @AircraftPitCrew
      @AircraftPitCrew  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I was fired for people in the video doing things that go against company rules and regulations. It was because I was part of leadership and they wanted to set an example. What the cameras didn’t capture was how many times I did tell people not to be breaking rules, however unfortunately for me people will do whatever they want.
      The airport and company didn’t care about the video itself. In fact corporate encouraged me to make more. My manager was also upset about it but his hands were tied. Also as a side note you can film anywhere in the airport as long as you don’t disclose sensitive info such as codes and security procedures.
