First Day as Ramp Crew Chief!

And holy shit what a Day it was...

So much thinking and organization. WestJet is insane... Inbound and Outbound Hot and Cold Connection Bags, Cargo, Load Plans, TOC Sheets, Bag and Departure Times to heed. Fuck my Brain is tired now.

On the cool side though I did my first two Push-Backs today!
(For those of you that don't know, a push-back is when you drive the Tug that pushes the Plane back from the Terminal Gate and out onto the Apron so it can taxi to the Runway since Jets can't back up.)

^ I drove the little Tug in front of the Plane in this example pic. :)

heh well our Bagroom is understaffed so we took a 10 minute delay on two flights. But as long as it's not my delay it's all good.

Allison: There'll be no Knob polishing on my end! lol :p
