I like how they are still needed through the Easter holiday. Isn't that just dandy. All these airlines have become nothing more than a name on an executives door and the airplane. Of course most don't even fly their own planes anymore either. Pathetic!

I hope every ramp agent did a "Sick Day"... screw the employees over, and then beg them to work through a major holiday? What would Management do? Fire them? 10 days to go before being terminated anyway. That's one airline I would avoid checking a bag for the next 10 days, and would avoid flying for another year until the new contracted ramp agents figure how to push back a plane without striking something.

So Advises Jester.
