Lots of pumpkins on the AA sides of the ramp at DFW over the past month or so(they could be amt's)!! There's been a non stop flow of them on the eagle side for quite some time! Lots of them very young. Not being from the fleet group, I was Just wondering is there a high turnover rate or are they realy upping head count by a considerable amount? I was thinking high turn over, these young ones coming in working weekends,( their friends outside of the industry still out partying on the weekends)winter coming up, low pay to start. Is that the case? High turnover?
Some of the wing walkers on the eagle side are horrible , and I'm not talking the pumpkins. Some of them are out there at night dancing around, tossing their lighted sticks in the air, waiving them around, all while the plane is not ready to back out yet. It's Very frustrating and scares the hell out of you sometimes when all of the sudden there's a guy waiving his sticks around but there's nothing going on. Like I said, this is at term B on the eagle side at DFW, I will say I've seen none of this on the AA side.
