This is awesome, Ryan. Thank you for the video I actually had to turn the volume on my tv lower cause of the jet engines. I should invest in some ear protection. Lol
Looks like a fun job! Obviously I know there’s probably some parts of it that suck, but if I were to ever work for an airport, turnarounds would be it.
Thank you for these amazing vids! Any idea how long it takes from obtaining an airside pass to having the first training day? Would be a massive help to know as I’m still waiting to hear back and also panicking that they forgot me 😂
@@diabolikalm if its the escorted ones they dont last forever and they are a pain as youll find out. But if not then great. Who are you joining if you dont mind me asking
@@ramperryan got the full airside pass and i’ll be with red handling. Joined with optime group who have contacted red handling for a start date. If it helps.
Hey Ramper Ryan do you mind me asking do I need to go on a college course to become a Ramp Agent or can I leave Secondary and go straight to becoming a Ground Handler?
You dont need any college or university degree to do this. Just have very good decision making skills and apply and show you have what it takes to do the role
Great video Ryan. I just resigned from my ramp job at YYZ yesterday. These videos will remind me of my ex ramp job now. Also could you make a video of you stacking bags please?
I do air transat from LGW and i can say you guys struggle with getting those A330 out on time 😂 Thank you glad you find these videos good and remind you of the good parts of airport life
Don’t think it was a spark. To me it looked like a puff of smoke from when the fuel was injected into the engine (which is normal) that passed in between the camera and the red beacon light on the belly of the aircraft. The red beacon light only flash intermittently so it made the smoke look red for an instant and may have seemed like sparks. You are suppose to see the beacon light a lot more, but either there is something wrong with the light or it’s the camera that is recording with too few frames per second to pick it up properly.
The big cable they connect in the beginning? It’s ground power. When the engines run they produce the electricity for the aircraft. But at Gatwick they don’t allow the ground crew to approach and connect the power while the engines are running. So the pilots start a small turbine engine in the tail called a APU to produce electricity so they can shut down both engines and the ground crew can approach and connect the ground power. When the aircraft eventually is powered by the ground they can shut down the APU again. We would prefer to not have to start the APU, but the UK are not very common sense when it comes to their procedures so we have to do it this way.
And all the while you're doing this, there's at least 50 people watching you out the windows!
All not paying attention to the crew doing the safety demonstration 😂
Flight attendants screaming to make you pay attention 😂
Have to admit that I have never really noticed the ground crews work, but it is really fascinating. Great video Ryan.
This is awesome, Ryan. Thank you for the video I actually had to turn the volume on my tv lower cause of the jet engines. I should invest in some ear protection. Lol
Definitely would 😂
ok, just saw you pull up to that luggage cart, reverse up to it and nailed the distance to the hook at first attempt.. VERY impressive :D
The way you do everything så smooth😍
The average salary for ramp workers is 24 to 34,000. They work their asses off for low wages. Can we just take a moment to appreciate them.
Nice work man, that job is definitely a dream of mine!
Qoppoi
Ramp agent is a dream job for you...seriously ? ;())
@@Geir-rl8mp Yeah what about it?
Why not push up
Same it's my dream job
Awesome! That looks like a fun job.
Great video Ryan, from one ramper to another
Thank you other ramper 👍

Tack för att vi fick följa med och se hur en dag för en ramppersonal ser ut

Thank you for these amazing vids! Any idea how long it takes from obtaining an airside pass to having the first training day?

Depends on the referencing process of your airport
@@ramperryanWhat airport do you work at? Also what company are you employed by?
@@ramperryan going to be at Gatwick. Already have the airside pass so hopefully not long 🤞
@@diabolikalm if its the escorted ones they dont last forever and they are a pain as youll find out. But if not then great. Who are you joining if you dont mind me asking
@@ramperryan got the full airside pass and i’ll be with red handling. Joined with optime group who have contacted red handling for a start date. If it helps.
I just wonder how fast you guys work and under 35 mins the Plane goes back in the air
Is this London gatwick?
yes.
Bros videos are breaking the sound barrier😂
Hey Ramper Ryan do you mind me asking do I need to go on a college course to become a Ramp Agent or can I leave Secondary and go straight to becoming a Ground Handler?
Depends on the company, generally you don't need to go to college and need a driving license
You dont need any college or university degree to do this. Just have very good decision making skills and apply and show you have what it takes to do the role
@@ramperryan Ok thank you!

Is he at Gatwick?
No 30% in the front and 70% im the back? We have been forced to do that by Norwegian to avoid tail-tipping.
I’m 11 and want to be a pilot but I think this job is very cool 😎
Focus, work hard and do well in school, thats the first step towards being a pilot! Good luck!
Lol remember my days in the catering world on just that ariplane from Stockholm
is the sparks at 14:06 normal? From a non-aviator person

Who recieved the aircraft at destination?
Sorry i wouldn’t be able to remember from 2 years ago
It’s either Oslo, Stockholm or Copenhagen
@@berthebear_realOr Helsinki.
How come you do the go around and not the pilot?
Is this gran canaria
No London Gatwick
So odd seeing a Jet Blue plane in the UK and I don’t know why? (Yes I know they started transoceanic flights!)
airport?
London Gatwick
Do u know any norwegain
so does every airline just have their own stairs and so on sitting at the airport
@@pingabl3 no its just the ground handler use to be owned by the airline. Hence the branding
What is that yellow wire for?
The big cable they connect in the beginning? It’s ground power.
When the engines run they produce the electricity for the aircraft. But at Gatwick they don’t allow the ground crew to approach and connect the power while the engines are running.

It was always my personal Dream to become Ramp Agent until i saw the payment :(
Gatwick!

If your camera has motion stabilization, please turn it on. Otherwise amazing video, without you guys, we'd never get off the ground.
Of course it doesn’t
@@ramperryan Aw, still awesome to see your POV though!
Too slow, 5min after block on time u got stairs in. 5min?
This is covid times where we had a small amount of staff so not everything was quick
I spotted @lgw.luke at 06:26 👀
