Saw this on TedCongisby's YouTube being towed to its stand with the blackjack in the foreground of the video. I think it really suits the scheme

Quote from: rookie on Apr 22, 2024, 11:45 AMHi guys I'm currently looking for a new job and I've stumbled across the driving position at dnata catering at BFS. Does anyone on here have any experience of them or any contacts at BFS who could shed some light on them. Only reason I've saw the job advertised quite often and don't know if it's a bad sign or not.either post up here or PM me if you want. Thanks in advance guys
Hi, I worked for them when they were Alpha Flight Services. Not bad rates of pay and not hard work. The mix of day and night shifts weren't too bad either.

Yeah it's good rate of pay . It's advertised as day shift they did have a nightshift position before. But I'm worried it is crap work or was the company a nightmare to work for and that's why it's always posted .

I take it you have done the usual googling and checked their various websites ?
I don`t know anything about them, used to be Alpha retail and catering at BFS when I was there.
Ground handling service companies have tended to become part of large groups recently,back in the day their were much more of them,smaller independent companies, but that`s all gone.
