Travel chaos for holidaymakers at UK airports
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 тра 2022
- It's been a miserable start for many holidaymakers hoping the Jubilee bank holiday weekend would be the chance for a foreign getaway.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
The travel firm TUI is cancelling hundreds of flights at Manchester airport, blaming "operational reasons".
There were also chaotic scenes and lengthy queues at other airports including Heathrow and Bristol, while some passengers at Manchester were left with nowhere to go.
We spoke to one family whose long awaited holiday plans were ruined.

B.A didn`t LOSE 10,000 staff , they laid them off to save money , but they were able to pay shareholders and high manager wages
Shut it Gareth
And I bet you they thought they could rehire them with a snap of their fingers.
Exactly. They won't fill those jobs now without doubling the money they are offering, because everyone now knows they would be doing two people's jobs and will want two people's pay. If I was a baggage handler, I'd be going on strike right about now. They've got the airports over a barrel. Make hay while the sun shines!
BA did not pay shareholders during the pandemic
This is all very clever saying this and everything, but is there any evidence that BA paid its senior staff and shareholders loads of money? You understand that the UKs aviation sector nearly ended, and will never return to its leading position because of the pandemic?
The problem is the tables have turned. Gone are the days when companies would say jump and you say how high. People want to earn a wage where they can actually live some kind of life and not scrape by.
@@fredrit323 hes right though, people are just not working rather than be unhappy in a job
@@fredrit323 I'd rather pay more for a flight knowing staff are well compensated for their work
I'd pay a fortune to get on a flight where you can smoke. We need to create smoking only airlines.
@@jjr1728 😂😂😂😂 how was that ever allowed?
@@fredrit323 Obviously the prices would have to go up, but it'd mostly be mitigated by people having more disposable income to begin with. Regardless, a £30 flight to Malaga is hardly an essential...
Meanwhile BA is looking for check in staff at London airports and offers a 20k salary... no wonder there are shortages, do they not realise how miserable life is on 20k in the most expensive city in the country?! Pay a decent wage and there will be no shortages
No wonder why you don't have a job, on total jobs they're offering £26K pa in London and as high as £16/h in London City Airport on total jobs. For reference foundation doctors 1 get paid £28K pa and they went through medical school. You Brexiteers are out right delusional.
true
That’s just ridiculous. 20k in London is quite thoughtless and patronising to say the least!
@@full_ArmourOfGod anything under 30k is an insult in London
@@LDNpat frankly 35-40k is the point where you can have a 'normal' life in zone 4+ London. if you want to live anywhere desirable then you need to be clearing 50k and even then it's not a life of luxury.
Travel companies so greedy to take traveller's money first knowing there would be problems
As someone who works at an airport and has done for 6 years its due to staff being paid incredibly low and being over worked ie you get what u pay for. Ppl leaving there jobs and being sacked due to covid and companies not listening to us staff who warned them for months this would happen if they ddnt take there finger out.
Absolutely.
Spot on
I would rather hear from the existing staff talking about the issues as you have the literal answers to fix these issues. Rather than some family talking about how they cannot go the Greece. I'd still be grateful for the time off and the parents can always take the children to a swimming pool in the UK. And the weather isn't that bad either, certain not as bad as the issues you guys face. My heart goes out to you Jae. Thank you for putting up with silly and sometimes unreasonable customers. You are amazing
@@kittys179 see, but showing that family helps to frame the story so that the workers get the bad light 🤷
@@kittys179 No, it's just easy, lazy "journalism". Find a family with a screaming kid, stick a microphone in their face and let them moan for a few minutes to fill screen time. Far easier than finding a baggage handler to ask him what's wrong with his job!
simple answer... offer more money.. people are fed up getting paid penuts for back breaking work.
Exactly. Look at their profits and CEO pay.
The airport has basically been closed dumbass for 2 years how can they offer more money when they need to pay the loan back to the government
At this rate we might as well pay them the same amounts as we do for doctors.
Yeah, and of course keep those flights dirt cheap at the same time, right?
Telling people to take off their belt and put their coats in a plastic tray is hard graft, true. But not as highly skilled as the folks who's job it is to repeatedly shout at people to take their liquids out of their bags.
The cause of most of these delays is that most British travellers are retarded and don't understand the rules.
The airlines, especially British airways, shafted there staff by getting rid of them, using Covid 19 as an excuse, to save them money. Now, they are in trouble having very few staff and the passenger/customer, yet again suffers.
yep - I remember the stories of Swissport sacking legions of staff and now they find they can't get them back? No wonder!!
@@tomsixsix Such a shame. Any Swiss company ought to prosper above all others. Outrageous situation.
They were expecting Brexshit benifits ie cheap slave labour with no options. Shame they forgot that racist old ditty "Brittans will never ever be slaves"
What about flights canceled in the U.S. over Memorial Day weekend?
@@tomsixsix The airlines just didn't do enough to keep the good, experienced staff, some with decades of experience. I have never worked for an airline, but it would have been an awful time for them.
Oh dear, this is not a situation where covid can be blamed. The airports and the holiday companies were all compensated by our hapless chancellor for which we are now all paying. Yep, so in an effort to garner more money staff were sacked. (It's the tory way) and of course with government encouragement and the need to put meagre food on the table other employment was entered into much to BJ's amusement and cheering in HoC. So, where are the required staff to come from? Because of brexit none are available. Who would have thought it?
So true. There's not a candidate shortage. There's a shortage of people wanting to work for peanuts in a high stress job.
People will blame Brexit for everything.
So the solution should always be cheap immigrant labor? Whilst at the same time all these liberals complaining that wages aren't increasing . You people are adding 1+1 and getting 3.
Lots of people understood there’s to winning in the rat race, just taking it easy is more fulfilling to them now. Time is not money. Time > money (specially someone else’s profit).
You are looking at it the wrong way. "Because of Brexit" those people who used to work in airports, easily found better jobs, possibly on more money and certainly less stressful. Don't feel sorry for the airports. They are just bad employers. Manchester are advertising for Ramp Agents "up to £10 an hour". Must be flexible 2am to 9pm!! Stuff that.
@@oldbloke135 because of Brexit there are shortages in every sector.Can i just ask who.s going to do the airport,care homes,agriculture jobs if what you said is true?:)))Thought foreigners were stealing brexitards jobs.Why are you,lazy cu..n..ts not taking those jobs?Now you complaining they are too hard and stressful ?you are a bunch of lazy moaners.
Families who think they can afford holidays abroad, do not appreciate the scale of the economic crash that is going to befall us all this autumn
That has nothing to do with the utter chaos and late notice from the airlines.
@@Misagonna88 really!? So the crippling of the economy over the last two years that spawned the staff shortage leading to these delays, and the alarm bells that should accordingly be ringing in our ears about the state of the economy, has no bearing on the difficulties the tourism industry is experiencing in terms of recruitment?
@@TheAgTeam it is coming. It is going to be a tough winter,and people cant see it!!
@@steve-fc6mc winter is coming
@@muhammadanwar1698 yes it is. Ignorance is bliss 😂👍
THANKS BREXIT! 🇬🇧
When cancelled flights for holidays makes headlines, you know you got first world problems
ye this is typical of the british news, remember recently the news has mostly been about how milk has gone up by 5p
@@genapp3603 ok 5 pounds it's first world problems , 6pounds it's international news ! 😆
or it might be that these people paid for holidays that they worked for only to be shat on by the companies that fired thousands of people to save money
It helps distract from the utter lawlessness and incompetence in number 10?
Damn that’s a great point… you make me feel guilty now!
Well done brexteers this is all Yoru fault you wanted your jobs back - you have them no get of your asses and go work in the airport as a bag handler
Not all of us wanted Brexit and yet we are all reaping the rewards
@@Stephan__ox. Yes but now Brexit kicks in becuase you cant source staff from EU like other EU countries can haha
it is for sure brexit, i moved to an eu country before brexit but i wouldnt move here now as it's too difficult to get hired with all the processes, itll work the other way with people arriving in UK looking for work but can't be hired
@@Stephan__ox. Wakeboarders, snowboarders, or private school boarders?
Brexit is not the cause. A Spanish person or any other nationality would struggle to live on the wages airports offer.
Another benefit of brexit.
The airlines treat staff so badly its no surprise. They did not lose staff, they got rid of the staff because of greed.
If only there was a system that workers from other countries could come easy and work.
Why do you think it is great idea to give jobs here to other countries, while there are many unemployed who want the job. But just simply don't want peanut pay with zero right job. People protesting against companies to give them better rights doesn't mean they don't want jobs, or they will accept other countries taking their jobs .
@@zainzoala1083 Maybe, just maybe, because people here don't want these jobs and aren't applying. Which is what's leading to the disruption
@@zainzoala1083 because British people are lazy that’s why just want benefits
@@zainzoala1083 Peanut pay... how much are you expecting with your 4 GCSEs with no working experience? Why don't we paid them the same amount as we pay doctors and professors? All Brexit has done is instead of those migrant workers freely working here under UK laws and return once they made enough, the government is inviting the workers with visas to work. Look at how they "solved" the fuel crisis a few months back, they gave out more visas.
@@zainzoala1083 Maybe letting young hard-working people come here to a country with a rapidly ageing population to pay taxes to fund our pensions, while providing goods and services that we don't have the available workers to provide without them is a good idea. Just maybe?
hope Ryan Air isn't watching the Co pilot loading the bags, it will give them ideas.
😂😂😂
Remember Father Ted when they're doing Riverdance in the caravan? Don't tell Michael O'Leary because he'll rip all the seats out of his planes.
Part of the job role now 😂
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Last week it was " should I pay my fuel bill or eat", this week its "I want my holiday".
Next week, a new variant and more deadly than the previous ones!.
Gosh, it’s almost as if there are lots of people in the UK who earn different amounts of money. And companies, for example travel ones, who don’t want to pay good wages for necessary work. What exactly is your problem with this news report?
Someone here said that people that worked in airports found better jobs because foreign workers left better paid jobs😂😂😂😂
Foreign workers were a big big part of airport workforce, specially baggage handling, check in, catering jobs and cleaning jobs.
What happened is that they are not allowed in now and the british employee doesn’t want to fill those jobs.
That sir…is the reality.
Now companies that work in airports will be forced to increase their wages to captivate british workers or airports face being in this misery for a long time.
Its about time to be honest, a baggage handler gets paid minimum wage to work in an environment were safety needs to be always a focus, tight time schedules, unsociable hours and lots of manual labour.
Same goes for security staff, in most airports they get paid just above minimum wage, for such a responsible job.
How can you compare making sure a prohibited item doesn’t travel with the passenger to a cashier in a supermarket (no disrespect to cashiers, its a respectful job)
Facts
I wonder if at last employers are beginning to realize that keeping employees on precarious, almost useless contracts, is a double-edged sword. Sooner or later the wiser ones will realize that happier employees who feell secure in their job are the ones you keep and get genuine loyalty from.
When you have a clown as PM your country becomes a circus.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PAY ISNT ENOUGH THATS THE REASON WE HAVE SHORTAGES
Better to sit on benefits then no?you lazy moaners
We have shortages because they can no longer hire staff from the EU. It's the same for farmers, hauliers and restaurants. All these businesses had gotten use to hiring cheap labor during peak periods and Brexit put an end to that.
@@kirishima638 then why don't you and the other benefit dependants go and do those jobs?
@@EDD-xr4ub Benefit dependent? I'm a working professional for a multi-national company.
@Jodie Price well if this is true ,still leaves the benefits dependants to do those jobs.Thought they were not working because foreigners were stealing their jobs.What stops them now?Laziness?
It is due to stupid BREXIT! Thats why there are no staff
Kind of, it's a pay issue as well though - everything is going up and companies like TUI are still offering wages that people can barely live on.
@@Vanguard_dj This is another way of saying you.re a lazy moaner that is waiting for his monthly benefits and blames foreigners for his laziness.
Probably because they sacked all their staff and now offer worse pay and hours, who wants to start a shift at 3am for near minimum wage, fook that
This is happening in the U.S as well. The government pushed the minimum flight hours from 250 to 1500 and the pipeline of young pilots dried up. On top of this, the airlines are allowed to overbook knowing that they don’t have enough seats available for everyone. It’s horrible service from horrible executives that make these decisions. I don’t blame the average worker that is customer facing and has to deal with the anger caused by incompetent executives.
These airports make a lot of money. The CEO’s are cruel for underpaying their staff
maybe they should have been a bit more human and not fired all their staff during a pandemic
Have you considered why they might have done that? Maybe as thier entire business, based on passenger numbers dried up overnight? Aircraft are monumentally expensive to run, without revenue its ruinous.
I don't understand why they shed so many employees knowing Brexit would kill off so many on its own.
What's Brexit got to do with it? That was years ago. Its worldwide post/ mid pandemic layoffs. Past staff have move on. So should you
@@scottjock Apart from all the bits we still want to renegotiate we didn’t ‘get Brexit done’ till 2021.
Enjoy Brexit chaos … u voted for it ! 😂
Maybe it's time to give the workers a decent wage to live on?
This is another way of saying you.re a lazy moaner that is waiting for his monthly benefits and blames foreigners for his laziness
🙌
£9.50 to wake up at 0300 frig off 🖕🖕
Fellow airport slave
Was on a 0300am shift this morning queues all morning just couldn't be arsed 😡😴😴
Time to pay a decent wage and the staff will return to these jobs.
This is another way of saying you.re a lazy moaner that is waiting for his monthly benefits and blames foreigners for his laziness.
Why did those staff get laid off '? Millions went on furlough to save jobs. Why didn't airlines use furlough? They must have known this would happen once restrictions ended.
I think British furlough ended in November 2020. There were more travel restrictions afterwards. In other EU countries it lasted for much longer and were more generous in total, but of course British people never bother to check and see how badly they are being treated by this government or where their public money really goes to. They believe lies like being "world- bearing" in something good. Poor things.
@@rollosinternet1853 AGAIN our useless government haven't seen this coming down the track.
i would rather save the money for winter time with the way things are than getting into debt
Spot on Barry
Christmas 2022 is going to be absolutely grim. I'm already dreading it.
People blaming Brexit for this are about as right and ignorant/racist as Americans saying “but if we don’t have Mexicans coming, who will clean the bathrooms?!”. Yes - brexit probably caused this, but only because it closed off the loop of cheap labor from other countries so now corporations need to pay more for local help.
You can’t have it both ways. It’s a complex situation.
When a bag handler will earn 4k a month you will be complaining about how much the plane tickets cost. Where do you think their salaries come from? Let's say they'll pay the baggage handler 4K a month. Where do they get the people from? The UK has more jobs available than unemployed (look it up). You won't get people that have a good life doing nothing and make them work even if the pay is high. I think you don't understand the complexity yourself.
So what side of the brexit fence are you? You seem to be a very confused fellow lol
When you don’t realise your position of privilege comes from exploitation.
It's not complex. The airlines used sub-contractors for baggage handling and they hired seasonally from the EU. Now they can't get EU workers because English boomers voted to create sanctions against their own country.
Covid lay off played a bigger part than Brexit in this particular factor. Brexit just increased the paperwork required for jobs and limited the amount of candidates. Airlines laid off thousands of people due to Covid and now can't be replaced due to reasons like people moving onto other things or salary expectations. You can't say Brexit 'probably' caused this at all - If Covid never happened, would the airlines laid of staff?
Is there a worse minimum wage job than working in an airport today? Every member of staff is doing what used to be three people's jobs. They are facing stressed out, angry customers all day. Airports are always a hassle to get to. They have a history of mistreating their staff, like sacking them when furlough ended. Nah, far easier jobs on that money are ten a penny nowadays!
So who s going to do those jobs then if all brits think like you?
Fellow worker at Liverpool 3 years in sometimes I think is this worth it😔😔😔
@@EDD-xr4ub Why not you?
@gm kar Why not me?Because i am a nurse working 5 days a week in the Nhs so i am doing my part comparing to you and rest of lazy benefit moaners.
That last sentence is so depressing LOL
No candidates allowed from the EU, where they could easily get candidates from. Oh Brexit, the beast that just keeps on giving.
This is what people get for sleepwalking into agreeing with the 'Great Reset'
You don't know what the great reset is.
Don’t worry, sit back, relax and enjoy a PINT in a PINT glass at the airport bar and ponder your choice during the referendum while you wait for your further delayed flight to Costa Packet where the temperature is a balmy 89.6’F. 🤦♂️ And when you get home you’ll be welcomed back to the office with open arms and a passive aggressive note on your desk saying that Jacob Rees Mog popped by and was disappointed to miss you.😡 And when you get home after a hard days work you’ll be able to stave off hypothermia by setting light to all the knock off sombreros and holiday clothes you purchased because let’s face it you’ll have no spare cash next year to fund a family holiday abroad due to the rampant inflation no one seems to have a clue about being able to fix.
Shut up and give me what you're smoking.
They struggle to recruit because they pay peanuts
Exactly and offer zero contract ' zero right contract, but media will now say ' ooh we need more workers from other countries.
Exactly because they been closed 2 years dumbass
At this rate we might aswell pay them the salary of doctors.
For reference, the average pay for baggage handeller is about £24K pa and all you need is 5 GCSE, compared to a foundation I doctor whose salary is at £28K pa, and that's with a medical degree. Talking about peanuts, you people need to learn maths.
yeah what the people voting for brexit forgot to realise is that british people will not put with peanuts whereas immigrants from the lower economy countries will, but they're not allowed in or to work here anymore :)
@@Hippo_Heli first of all don’t “you people” me.
Secondly, that doesn’t mean anything. Take it up to the people who made you pay for that degree and then offered you 28k.
I work in marketing and as a fresh graduate I’m on 1k less than you. Maybe question your choices.
Who in their right mind would try booking a holiday abroad which involves flying.
No one is going anywhere for the foreseeable future .
It's possible you may be able to get a flight out of the UK but coming back is another nightmare.
Meanwhile Jet2 and Difficult Jet are advertising holidays abroad which they can't fulfil....
Every airline is. Not just them two.
Its the way airlines always operated.
They expected recruitment to be easy, but forgot people have moved on and demand better wages
I can beat this. We got up at 3am to go to italy to see my dad ive not seen for 4 years. They cancelled the flight while boarding the plane
which airport?

More vacancies, than job applications......!!
Its ok to say the word
BBBBrrreexit !!!!! 😅😅😅😅😅, those sunlit uplands belong in comic sketches...
I love it when they blame coming out of the EU for not being able to flood the jobs market with cheap labour. Poor you pay a decent wage.
they will. and then theyll pass on the cost to customers.
Anyone who just experienced flying out of Dublin in the last while would be laughing if this was what they were greeted to right now
Actually, its been the same in Dublin.
@@scottjock And Schiphol in the Netherlands. Apparently there have also been issues at a couple of German airports but I can't vouch for those.
@@scottjock actually I think he means it was way worse in Dublin and that anyone there would gladly accept this relatively low level of chaos compared to the 500m queues at Dublin airport last weekend.
Another Brexit success story! Enjoy your holidays! 8)
i dont fly with BA anymore and definitely wont go with easyjet/wizzair/tui now. Fly with reputable airlines who care about their customers experience. Yesterday I flew with Swissair to Faro from Heathrow via Zurich. If i flew with TUI, Easyjet or any of the others, Id be like the people in this video
I love wizzair me .
Family friend of mine had part of a holiday f----d up by BA back in February.
Fly from Glasgow to London, outbound connection to Los Angeles. BA flight out of Glasgow was 4 hours late in leaving, and even then they had offloaded 30% of the passengers because there wasn't enough crew on duty to look after everyone. Everyone who had a connection in London missed it - and it was also a sparrowfart flight, meaning some people who had business reasons to be in London were also buggered.
he replacement flight to Los Angeles from London left 45 minutes late and the seating plans given to passengers had seats that didn't exist (although everyone did get on board).
Coming home? The flight to LHR was two hours delayed, meanwhile the connecting flight from LHR to Glasgow had simply been cancelled and deleted from the BA schedule like it never existed. Even though they had booked and paid for it.
Alot of people want to go on holiday?
Boris makes a mess with Brexit, tells the airlines to clear it up. I spot a pattern.
Manchester Airport is offering up to £10 a hour for baggage ramp work starting at 2am. Would you like to do that job? Brexit has SAVED the poor souls who used to have no choice but do it. Because the EU migrants had gone home, there were thousands of better jobs for the airport staff who got sacked after furlough ended. A true Brexit bonus!
@@oldbloke135 ah the that jobs too good for me approach. I thought Brexit was supposed to fix that.
@@oldbloke135 out of curiosity who should be doing those jobs? You might also want to consider the effect of the labor and skills shortage on the economy.
another fabulous Brexit Dividend..
first they complain we have too many people and no jobs, now it too many jobs and no people. . .what a load of malarkey
Looks like the end of budget flights to me. These shortages will lead to higher wages and higher costs.
Good🙌
The problem they're having is wanting to rehire staff but at a lower wage and changes to working conditions. All the experienced staff that were laid off are not willing to come back on lower pay and conditions. To just blame blame the airport is somewhat disingenuous I think.
They complain about inflation yet they travel. Unbelievable.
Don't mention the 'B' word. I might of mentioned it, but i think i got away with it.
Not sure why they are blaming staff shortages, because if you look for a airline job unless you are a pilot or cabin crew then getting a normal unqualified job like baggage handler seems hard. If you have a job let me know!
if you voted leave you voted for this, own it.
It’s the low wage and high cost of living. Theres better jobs elsewhere in and more outside UK.
Mr Sandu explained staff cannot be sourced from The EU…. So this is a by-product of The Brexit.
Looks like the cost of living crisis hasn't affected them ... these lot should be lucky that they can even afford tickets for a holiday ... #richpeopleproblems
yeah, I'm sure they hadn't booked last year or anything. #ArseholeAnswers
@@chri5m0rgan 😅😅😅 doesn't make a difference
Hmm not the whole country is very poor , these people probably booked early saved their money for holiday which is good for human health. Some people send their savings back home or donate or save for buying business home etc, other's go holiday. People spend differently.
Are we allowed to mention Brexit out loud yet?
I want to be a pilot for easyjet when I’m older, hopefully by then the industry is better

@Guyver Francis funny I live in France , no travel difficulties here and we can afford to travel ? And I think I have a greater invite in to Europe and Brexit than you
The days of shafting staff is over, EU workers won't work in this laughing stock of Europe country.
So cost of living problem doesn't affect these people.
To do this to public needs to become a mega mega huge fine.
Price of your ticket back then like £500 compensation.
Airlines need to stop blaming others and turn inwards and look at themselves.
They do not care about your plans large or small.
PROFIT BEFORE PEOPLE ! is there real flight plan
All that is going to do is create a unsafe flying environment, where the plane is not balanced due to a rush to depart.
@@Hippo_Heli haha fair comment
Typical thinking of British airport managers, we will open first and then somehow it will be. As always, no professionalism and everything sloppy
There is all this finds about air travel. We should be glad that it is hard as surely we need to reduce the use of flying.
I hate everything about aviation. It's such a stressful chore and I just can't be bothered.
When I take a bus or a train, I don't need to be there 2+ hours in advance, be told what I can and cannot bring with me, have to show ID, wait in a long queue to be molested by a security guard, then be treated like a criminal from there on out. I have also never had a bus or train journey cancelled at the last minute or delayed by 40 years for no reason at all.
Why are you booking basement priced airlines.
And it serves the airlines right for laying thousands off
As usual Brexit makes it all worse too...

Just keep selling flights you can’t supply. Profit before customers & they are allowed to do it. Holiday at home people teach these pricks a lesson, bring a couple down & the others will soon shape up.
This is happening everywhere, not just the UK. Schiphol is a similar mess right now.
Why would you book a holiday when every other person in the UK is booking a holiday? Don't travel on public holidays, half term, Easter or Christmas. If you have kids, take them during term time. That's what my parents did.
It's not always the case. I booked a flight outside public and school holidays for late June and still Easyjet cancelled my flight.
For all the staff who were let go what jobs are they moving onto it?
Yeah airport needs pay more....9.50 for loading baggage really.....people going same were pay more
Very nice 👌 people got kicked out during lockdown and humiliated by these companies no one giving attention... This is called Karma... Railways on the pipeline next for strike action in few weeks time...

The travel chaos for holidaymakers at UK airports is the same as that which is happening at airports across Europe.
WHY TAKE THE BOOKINGS THEN.
In Holland the ground staff went on strike due to low salaries..10 euros and hour..during the pandemic they laid off workers..these workers got jobs elsewhere..it’s happening in many European airports.
Its a worldwide problem.
Low cost airlines in the last decade have driven airline industry wages down in a bid for attracting them into the airports.
Now most businesses outside airports offer more money and better social hours.
Inevitably the airline industry will have to change wages all round.
I wonder if this will be an uncontrollable change for low cost airlines model
A couple of weeks ago it was I can’t afford to live now it’s I can’t get a flight ffs
These airlines are a disgrace and should be ashamed of themselves 🤬🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
I have uploaded the best UK Prison footage from inside our Jails 💯
And during pandemic they took millions, and afterwards kicked out most people on zero rights contract. 🤣
Jst grab a dinghy and row your way to France, works opposite way.
Whoever spreads the rumours around about people in UK have to choose between heating or eating they should see the queues at the airports first.
Exactly. Food banks?! Bullshit. I saw a man get out of a Ferrari and walk into an expensive restaurant. Therefore no one needs food banks.
TUI agency is the BEST comparing with other plane company's . BIG Respect for TUI. Ashame to be UK government for less paid workers at airport's and all other branches. Salary for workers in offices is overpaid in last decade! Everyone thinks about passengers but no-one thinks about TUI agency how was survival period 2 years in COVID-19 period. Without any help from EU and UK politicians!!!
Anyone taking a job there should negotiate themselves double time for overtime, unsociable hours pay, extra holidays etc and guaranteed hours and directly with the airline and not an agency.
Airlines are only responsible for pilots, cabin crew, administrative staff and engineering teams.
Check in, boarding gates, baggage handling is a separate company that only works within the airports.
As for paying more. At some airports the ground handler was so desperate, they were offering staff from their company in other airports to go help for £30 to £50 per hour.
Thats how desperate things were in the last 2 school break periods (April and May).
Things will level now until July when school holiday kicks in again. God knows how this summer will be like
They should pay more, give benifits and people will come back to the jobs.
Brexit !
It is all by DESIGN 👈
Millions living on benefits, because they can’t be asked to work for a living. In most countries you either work or you starve!!!
if a flight gets cancelled last minute the travellers should get a full refund straight away and compenation i would not leave the airport without my money back
@Jordan Jones The impenetrable brick wall I came up against after a domestic flight was overbooked by three seats: the ground crew who I attempted to negotiate with were not employed by the airline. These staff were supplied (and wearing airline branded uniforms!) by a contracting agency. This budget airline was hidden behind an opaque veil. A telephone number which was never answered, and an email address. After multiple emails, I was offered a flight voucher as compensation. This was never received. After more emails, I gave up. Which I'm sure is their standard operating policy. Just wear people down. Absolute fu**ers 💩. All I could do is vow to pretend they are not an airline, and never buy a ticket from them ever again ✈
The ironic thing is it’s the same ppl that voted for brexit that are suffering the most now.
BREXITEERS VOTED TO STAY HOME, NOW STAY HOME.
Well to go away during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee is a bit disrespectful unless they are all anti monarchy ppl, would you go away for Christmas Day!!!
@@nigelclifford8405 the institution of the Tories is so corrupt and treasonous that not only do I believe they would turn england into an oligarchy, but they would actually encourage people to accept it and to have an adequate attitude.
Consequently most Tories wouldn't care much about public opinion or royal conventions.
When you think about it, a few years ago a lot of continental European would have come to pay their respect to the queen.
Now I suspect there will be only the most dedicated and that have the time to spare to go through all the hazzle to get paperwork done just to pay their respect, and most probably be received with the attitude the Tories are promoting.
Anyway, we all know that the Tories are in Russian pockets like most populist extreme political parties now a day, and all that pretend politic of nationalism and self sovereigntiy and rising barriers and burning bridges, well it sure never was for the good of uk citizen. Although I'll give the argument that it wasn't a good thing for European citizens neither. I still wonder who profits if everybody looses, and can only come to the conclusion that it is the ones that funded all those parties... which by my perspective makes them fundamentally treasonous. If not legally at the very least on a moral scale and rational level.
As for all those uk tourist whom thought they'd be better off if everyone was worse off... they can stay home.
The only ones I'm saddened for is the ones that have to endure such despicable attitude and have doors closed to them, because the worse of their society speak on their behalf.
Particularly when considering how much British culture actually has to offer.
