Having successfully completed the relevant training, I have now become a Step Up Team Leader at LBA. This role allows me to lead a team in safely handling Aircraft on Ramp. It carries great responsibility in regards to ensuring that aircraft arrive and depart safely as well as on time. As the Loading Supervisor I have to ensure the aircraft I am working on is loaded correctly as per the LIR (Loading Instruction Report) and all bags are properly checked and restrained to ensure the saftey of everyone on board. This role carries great responsibility and I have to ensure that no mistakes are made as the consequences can be quite severe. Some of the roles I carry out: • Assign tasks for the Ramp Agents under my lead to complete. • Inspect the aircraft for any damage and physically check each cargo compartments to locate bags/ anything that shouldn't be there. • Communicate to the Dispatcher/ Flight Crew if required. • Load the aircraft in accordance with the LIR provided as well as any special instructions given by the flight deck. • Remain with the plane from the beggining to the end and ensure the plane is fully ready to be pushed back (This includes making sure all hatches, latches, doors are closed, ground equipment is removed, bypass pin is installed and tug and bar is connected ready for push). • Deal with any queries from my team in a calm and positive manner.
I have progressed quite quickly within my Ramp Agent role and have therefore been promoted to Senior Agent. This role carries more responsibilities and more opportunities to progress my role further.
