Amadeus Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Just now, WTF said: the only good first impressions are in the lying brochures As much as I usually defend the place, I’m afraid you’re right. I bet there won’t be any taxis outside when (if) we finally get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 One counter. A ton of people. Zero blame on the poor girl doing what she can. Loganair is a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOM doesn’t give out residency cards so unless you bring all your home office paperwork every time you fly, you’re not going anywhere. Oh, and all the passengers from the other flight were just out ahead of us in the queue. With just one checkout counter open. What a total joke Loganair is. IOMG needs to get a grip on air travel or they can forget all their fantasy visitor targets. Wouldn't it be better in the long term if she had a British Passport? (assuming IOM is your main residence?) Edited August 10, 2022 by Andy Onchan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Eris, woody2 and Rog had their way our Am would be in the same queue as his wife and be refused entry anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s assuming they know. Engage in constructive dialogue. The SLA won’t stop comfort breaks, and in times of covid staffing may be problematic. And if the SLA specifies 2 check in staff all day long and Logan the schedule 4 planes within 90 minutes then Logan need to change the SLA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just to do with the ground handler. They need to negotiate access to desks with the airport themselves and I'm pretty sure this is a Loganair problem, they will then have an agreement with the ground handler that it's X number of desks require Y number of staff. That's how it normally goes anyway. Loganair don't have all that many flights out of Manchester and they'll look at number of passengers due in a 2hr period (pre opening for check in) and determine that one desk can handle that throughput no problem at all.

Its better to rant anonymously on a web forum as that gets results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
