With everything I have done in a wonderful life of Travel, there is one that I always wanted to do - work on the Ramp and bring airplanes in and out. Now I HAVE!
Hired in late October 2019 with a fully owned subsidiary of American Airlines, Piedmont at Wilmington International Airport (ILM). Much of what I've done has been exciting and thrilling, and some even scary and dangerous, but all in all a great experience. Some not run too well, and many travelers would be very surprised to hear how it all gets done. Soon to come an update: "The life of a ramp agent" until such time please enjoy the photo's:
