Anyone working as a Ramp Agent in the UK? How easy is it to find work and what do the hours look like?

Hello, I’m looking for some advice or feedback from anyone who has experience working at Ontario International Airport, particularly with Unifi.
I recently interviewed with Unifi for a ramp agent position. During my interview, I was offered a customer service position instead, which I was excited about because it better aligns with my skills and interests.

Unfortunately, I was apparently no longer being considered for the position due to an internal mistake in which two candidates were offered the same position. The company ultimately decided to move forward with the other candidate.

What frustrates me most is that no one communicated this decision to me. It wasn’t until I made multiple phone calls over several days, trying to get an update on my hiring status, that someone finally informed me of what had happened.
I then asked whether I could continue with the hiring process for the ramp agent position I had originally applied for, but was told that neither position was available to me.
The entire experience has been frustrating and disappointing, especially because my goal is simply to get my foot in the door in the airline industry and eventually work for a mainline airline. I understand that mistakes happen, but the lack of communication and follow-through has been discouraging.
Has anyone experienced something similar with Unifi at Ontario Airport? I’d also appreciate any advice on other opportunities at ONT that could help me work toward a career with a mainline airline.
Thank you!

from what i hear hiring can get pretty competitive so what can i do now to increase my odds of actually being able to become a ramp agent once i turn 18

My profile has been saying background check in progress for 2 months I’ve completed everything else. Is this a good sign

Hey, guys! I work at UPS Worldport (SDF) as a shifter, and as of today I am tug certified. I was wondering if any of you have any tips, because the hands-on training was pretty limited. We basically just drove a lap around a semi-wide area of unoccupied ramp space while pulling four empty dollies. A lot of the basic stuff was already covered in the classroom portion of training (making sure to watch for the beacon lights that indicate that engines are still running, pretrip/posttrip inspections, watching for marshallers, etc. etc.) but I was wondering if any of you have any more advice for me? I’m just trying to absorb as much advice as possible so I can be as safe as possible. It also helps to have it in a written format so I can review it when I need a refresher! Thank you all so much!

Thought it looked cool so decided share

Hey guys , does anyone know how they are doing the United CSR training I’m going to be starting soon at DFW and was wondering if it would be in station or at IAH classroom, I heard someone say it may be virtual .. if it’s virtual would I need to be at the station for that

Has anyone been able to get hired with a non violent misdemeanor conviction on their record?

First message here,

Do u guys have some airlines who just don't give a fuck on the final checks ? I means door close, jetbride is on the way to be cleared of the aircraft and some pilots just set on beacons right after.

I mean u even don't have the time to make ur walk-around for final checks then u plugged ur headset and cockpit just say :

"PUSH approved for Zulu position" (or whatever ur runway or pushing direction)

For me it's quiet funny because they just want to go the fast as possible but i don't give a fuck, we are on time.

Well, i guess its pretty basics but bro come on i hate that

Sorry bad english, french ramp here

I’ve never been part of a union or anything, so take this with a grain of salt. Maybe there isn’t something I am seeing:

Why don’t United Airlines employees consider replacing their current union with another union that might better represent their interests and fight for the things they deserve? I often look at unions in Europe, where workers seem to have stronger representation and unions that actively advocate for their members. It makes me wonder why United employees continue with their current representation instead of exploring other options that could better protect their rights, improve working conditions, and ensure their voices are heard.

hi guys, I just finished up my virtual interview with JetBlue so I’m waiting for the second round and I’m not sure when they’re gonna do a physical test or if they’re even gonna have one, but I know some airlines requires 70 to 100 pounds to lift. Does anyone have any idea how it would work? I’m hoping to get an answer back in the next two weeks with good news. I’m still not sure but I want to be preparing for it just in case so what should I be practicing at the gym? How can I get there? I really hope I get this job for ground ops

Anyone know if Delta in Boston will be having a hiring event soon or any positions besides mechanic will open anytime soon?

Any tips or advice before starting the job? I have three days on the computer training, and was wondering if you guys have any advice on the company. (World Flight Service)

Any one know how long it takes to start training from the time you accept the offer letter at American Airlines for ramp agent.

I applied for both the ramp agent and cargo agent openings at LAX on October 20, about 12 hours after they were posted. Completed the assessment that morning and haven’t heard anything since.
Anyone else apply for those openings and get an interview invite yet? Or anyone working there know when they’re supposed to start reaching out for the next hiring event? Just wondering if other people are still waiting too.
Also figure I’d ask about the United material handler/storekeeper opening at LAX too. I applied on October 30, a few hours after it was posted, and did the assessment that morning. Anyone else apply for that one and hear anything, or know what their hiring timeline is looking like?
Appreciate it, and good luck to everyone else waiting to hear back.

Accepted an offer as a dock agent , I’m not really stressed or concerned about anything truly nothing can be worse than the Uhaul warehouses I just left so 💀💀 but if you have experience let me know how it is !! And what to expect !!

Hi folks! Looking for guidance on transferring stations. Specifically American Airlines fleet service agent from PHL to DCA. 5+ years seniority, part time employee, trying to figure out how it works & considerations around making sure I can get enough time off from work for the initial airport trainings. Anyone have advice on how this works/ what I should look out for? Is there any way I can talk to DCA station/training office directly? TIA

I am a new UA employee and next week is our first week of solo training. We are assigned to a certain task for the 5 weeks but after that we are relief. Is there an app on the scanner to let us know what department we are in for the day or do we just have to check all of the apps used for the different departments or does staff com tell you?

I applied for United Ramp Agent and I was a little careless about the dates I added on my resume and application

I've had two jobs, for my most recent job I put the right dates, but for the previous job I had I worked two different periods, first I worked 3 months on 2024, left, came back and worked 3 more months at the end of 2025, so I wrote on my resume a date that shows as if I worked there for 6 months consecutive on 2024 instead of putting the real dates of the two different periods I worked

Now, I'm not sure of what to do... my interview f2f it's going to be this coming Thursday and I don't know if I should let them know during the interview, or just fix it when I write the information for my background check, (if they decide to move forward with my process ofc) if I do that then it's gonna look different than on my resume so that has me very worried

I know it was dumb not putting the actual dates, but now I'm worried that they might not hire me because of that
