Press Release
One of the interesting parts for us locally is....
-- Increasing staffing to reinforce customer assistance, specifically:
-- Adding staff in airport lobbies to help customers quickly navigate
through the airport process.
-- Increasing the number of agents available to help customers who are
checking in using our self-service kiosks.
-- Placing additional staff at baggage belt induction points to help
move bags to airplanes quickly and accurately.
We are currently 8 people short of where we were starting back before the big hiring push for the summer ( 3 FT and 5 PT). We have another one going out next week for maternity leave for 3 months. We cant hire anyone in case someone from PIT wants to come down in Jan (any takers for the 3 FT EOS?) So we are stuck. They decided to temporarily upgrade 4 part timers for a total of 3 weeks (Dec 17 - Jan6). Thats the big added staffing for my station. No "EXTRA" help, not even getting us up to normal staffing, but everything is going to run smoothly we're told. Even if they hired 8 off the street tomorrow we're looking at at least mid Feb to get thru the screening and training process. Yep, gonna be another fun holiday season. :down:
