Good info. Best to try and work as an airline employee not contract. We get better everything benefits, pay, etc. There is right now a lot of manpower shortage (which is pretty normal) but in places like NYC, Jersey, South Florida where travel has pickup a lot faster and airlines have made a lot of slot changes.

Yep. Atlanta is probably the largest hub hiring. Ive heard from senior management that they've gone through at least 7k+ interviews. Some don't pass due to the drug test. Its hard to fuck it up as they're in a "hire anyone" stage, but I get it as many people left during the height of the 2020 outbreak.

How do you like the job

4:00 I can't understand much of what you say, like 'called up for cabin service, if you have issues with cleaning' and then I don't understand after that. Do you clean crap out of toilets, and puke off of seats? I had to fly in a seat someone puked on, even if it was supposedly cleaned.

Cargo handles mail , packages, freight , animals and other items companies or people ship on planes. Ramp agent you will be dealing with passenger luggage sorting loading and unloading bags. Maybe even cleaning planes. Cargo is usually on the other side from the terminal ramp you will actually be around the planes more.
