Kneeblades is a thing that exists.
SaneBrain
Screw loading it. UNLOADING!
Totallycasual
Jesus, give that motherfucker one of those little stools on wheels.
enotrevo
More like BAG destroying work, am I right?
SkypeOfCthulhu
Missing the bit where sometthing gets stomped into place in order to fit. But that could be airline-specific or for being off camera
darkoshen
This guy needs a rolly-go dolly he can perch on. Preferably one that's ergonomic.
typedrole
THAT'S WORK
pareidoliaperson
If you look closely, it appears that the rows he made does not clear off like tetris.

From a loader to another, use knee pads mate! Saves your back but destroys your knees
Thesonshade
Always lift with your lower back kiddies.
DonGeilo2087
Why is there a wahoo logo printed on the ceiling?

MrRandom314159
The only humane thing to do is to hire children to stack these up.
Blackfinity
There might be some more space in the wheel wells. Or not...
CraftyGiant
Neat, but for anyone else watching skip to the last ten seconds. The rest is unchanging.
MrBadandugly
So I had to do planetside honors a couple times for service members that died, I can't imagine maneuvering a 300lb coffin like that
CraftyGiant
Pretty sure coffins wouldn't go into the under nose crawlspace.
jetPAX89
They 100% do fit. I've seen them as heavy as 500lbs.
MustardDuck
An idea?:One or a few big properly shaped "baskets" that you could load externally and then insert into the cargo deck.Should be faster too.
Siwj
You normaly dont do that in small plans like a 737, and it's the passengers boarding and seating that takes time
Thundermoe
Wouldn't one of those little shop stools with wheels be ideal for this?
ThanosTheGreat
And that’s why they have weight limits on luggage.
Fengor
Nah, the weight limit is for the plane, not the ground crew. You think they give a shit about their health?
PeterTurboIronCage
It's true, my girlfriend's PhD was on the long-term health effects of baggage handling and how it is mitigated in different countries
PeterTurboIronCage
Her conclusion was that, outside of a few places where they automated nearly everything, they don't really give a shit
sashagoesmusic
I still hate myself for when I forgot to take out a laptop in my luggage a few years back. I'll never forget the sweaty desperate face of
sashagoesmusic
the guy who had to find my bag so I could take my laptop out and then hand it back to them. Afterwards I thought I shouldn't have told them.
iamthugnasty
Probably makes less than $15 an hour for a job that likely will ruin his back.
tizkit
yup, theres a reason everyone i worked with was drunk or high when i did this, also why one guy was caught stealing mail
ADegenFromUpcountry
Minimum wage in a lot of airports. And passengers are always shocked to see them yeeting bags off a plane ?
nebuchadnezzarispooping
I'm guessing there must be loads of cargo so they didn't bother building AKE's for baggage hence its being put in loose. I hate loose bags
RabidDingo
AKEs are for wide body, not sure they make 737 sized cans.
nebuchadnezzarispooping
AKH then?
Tabriz85
Nope, no container fits in the lower deck of an 737, AKH are just for Airbus 320 family. Some airlines have a conveyor band built in.
nebuchadnezzarispooping
I think it does mr
RabidDingo
But slowly being phased out due to the weight. The use of power-stow belt loaders is making those systems obsolete.
Dreadwroth
Thats why you kneel and wear kneepads, bending over like that is stupid.
seabiscuit7261425
They only wear kneepads when they ask for a raise.
pareidoliaperson
Calm down Gluteus Maximus.
RacecarRoadcar
Then again, putting all that weight on the knees is going to be agonizing.
RabidDingo
Not as much as you think. But the pads make the difference.
Copperbrat
I'd like to see someone try to kneel-walk, tbh. I feel like that would be harder on the body than folded like an L.
CraftyGiant
it's slower and you'll be fired from your minimum wage slavery.
jetPAX89
I do that job and I am very well compensated. Not just in pay but full benefits as well
CraftyGiant
Well that's good to hear. Can I ask what airline?
SlimSam
No one tought of extending the conveyor belt inside the damn thing? Work hard, not smart!
RacecarRoadcar
It is used by some airlines, but the cheap ones don't have it.
CraftyGiant
guess we should make it a requirement then. We as a culture need to stop allowing corporations to ruin our bodies when there are options.
Siwj
I work at an airport doing exactly this but we use a loader called Power Stow that does that, Google it for pics
Siwj
https://youtu.be/PPJu8ZXOnB0 found a video
beaubrent
Can this not be done by robots?
ADegenFromUpcountry
Why buy robots when agency workers will do it for $10/hour
ChickenChickenBurningBright
people are much cheaper
jesusisherelookbusy
RabidDingo
Power stow belt loaders.
Ulthirm
Yes but most people prefer their shit arriving mostly unbroken. Robots that do this stuff are still quite shit at not destroying it. < Work
Ulthirm
with robots on the daily at an Amazon robotics facility that operates the experimental robots on literally every stage of the process.
HandymanJake
Is this the same cargo hold they put animals in?
RacecarRoadcar
They are supposed to put them in the main cargo deck. This is the forward cargo deck.
jetPAX89
On AA's 737's live animals have to go in the front bin
HandymanJake
Phew. Thanks
warrenwoodworks8888
Somebody buy this guy some padded kneepads
highhiedyin
Can confirm. Standard ramper gear. All airlines give out crappy ones and most rampers end up buying their own.
Skipadedodah
They always hurt, got in the way or broke.
Zooka128
They need like a slide harness along the ceiling, so he just attaches to the rail and can hang horizontally like in one of those spy movies.
adhdat502000
With wheels.
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Kneelies?
elfoe
Or those "scooters" from elementary school
lostknight0727
he still needs his fingers
Uratowel33
In the biz we call em promotion pads
oilgod
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh, what biz are you in, specifically?
Uratowel33
The biz where you get down on your knees and get to work!
Denare
Back destroying, and excellent Tetris practice.
xyxyxyxy31
Otaku4ever
Guy needs a medal for strongest back ever...!
insomniac24x7
And if he doesn’t do it right it will fuck up CG of the plane and make for a fun time for Pilot and FO
skylardarkfox
This is why ramp leads do load plans and give them to the pilots to put in the computer. The pilots generally know how the plane is loaded.
insomniac24x7
I know :) I was just emphasizing the importance of this particular job
WeeJubya
It can’t be! I see full lines there, but nothing disappears!
MothMonsterMan
Luggage doesn't dissappear until after takeoff
ExtremelyHappyGuy
TRUTH!
imsam77
Lots of plastic bags there?
RabidDingo
Usually mail or cargo.
ADegenFromUpcountry
The blue ones are mail sacks. You can see ‘postnl’ on some of them
BklynPunisher
The tan ones are ball sacks.
GhostsofAcid
Most luggage isn't from the passengers but airmail and the like.
AgeisFang
Depends on the location/destination
aFloatingCabbage
So we can’t have more luggage because they want to make more money transporting shit. But they’ll charge us out the ass for ONE BAG..
Userlivewire
Mail makes more per pound/kilo than people/air does. They wouldn’t transport people at all if they had enough mail to fill all the planes.
aFloatingCabbage
I’m fine..
TheForgewright
Deep breaths, man.
OMGamIImguringCorrectly
All the dog poop bags have to end up somewhere.
ExtraAverage
Airdropped over the Midwest. That's actually where missing luggage goes. They stack it too close to the drop bays.
Fleaofpain
It helps improve the smell there. It's like a potpourri carpet bomb for them
ExtraAverage
You know damn well the Midwest all breath through their mouths and haven't smelt a thing since WrestleMania when they tried to smell what
ExtraAverage
The Rock was cooking.
shinydiscoballs
Pretty sure I just saw my lost luggage from a flight in ‘97. Son of a bitch is out there somewhere.
THESHADOWOFJECT
its living a better life than you
TxDragnier
They're allowed to keep one piece of luggage a day and open it like a kinder egg
culinarydream7224
Was there a chance it was vibrating?
LurkerOfDarkness
Your luggage is living your dream of seeing the world, and I bet it hasn't even sent you one postcard...
TheWorldAccordingToAtlas
Scottsboro, Alabama most likely. https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2020
RackhamTheRed
It's still having the time of its life, while you're sitting on your ass doing nothing
Iamyouinanotherlife
Dad??
frozensoul94
Probably got sold to some youtuber who buys luggage from the auctions.
ImNotReallyADoctor
Mr Beast?
frozensoul94
Or Killem (UK youtuber)
Lycion
I used to work in airport last year. I once saw a mountain pile of luggages with no tags near the auto shops warehouse that is likely
Lycion
Heading for disposal. Those are probably unclaimed luggages. I hear people have 1 yr to claim and if not they get disposed.
justahumanonline
Probably got sent to the one store where airlines send unclaimed luggage.
laplance93
I go there at least once a month. I found a great deal on a graphics card once.
MattRexPuns
I just found out about this place the other day! My friends and I were going hiking and the guy driving the car points out the cooling 1/?
MattRexPuns
Tower of a nuclear plant and says "that's all scottsboro has going for it, the nuclear plant and the one store in the country that sells 2/?
MattRexPuns
Unclaimed airline luggage." I looked it up and now I gotta go on a little field trip some weekend when I have money
Metalsmith21
all that shit could be loaded into modular bins on the outside of the plane and then just slotted into that space on tracks or somethign.
lronMaiden
That's not the kind of hold that accepts pallets. There are different areas/planes that do just that.
jetPAX89
Not on that plane, it wouldn't be cost effective. That's is what they do on larger planes though
Imgerruinedimger
CraftyGiant
They can use the piles of money handed to them by the fed for that instead of stock buybacks and CEO bonuses.
Hyero
Userlivewire
Airlines and Amtrak are not profitable enough to exist on their own without taxpayer money.
CraftyGiant
That doesn't mean they should use subsidies and bailouts for stock buybacks and just fire a pile of employees to pay exec bonuses.
Userlivewire
Agree. There should be better regulations. Even without that though they can’t sustain themselves with how many 1/2 empty flights there are.
CraftyGiant
These are things that have and DO happen, so...
simplefishy
Wouldn’t someone vertical challenged be better at this?
SilentHowling
Unfortunately, child labor laws prevent this.
HeadedForEternity
You’d think so. But when I worked as a handler at UPS I was regularly put in next day sorting. Tiny crates you crawl into. At 6’4”, it hurt.
Malikhi
As a man standing 6'7" (200.7cm i think) I guarantee they'd stick me with that duty. Zero sympathy.
thedeg
hear hear
Enlilite7512
All the vertically challenged are busy supervising
Aibell125
My grandpa’s sister was a short person. She was a Rosie riveter bc she would walk out on the wings of the planes without breaking them
Copperbrat
Possibly. But their arms might not be long enough to grasp outsized or bulky items.
Sonzarellli
Alright. Lets find little people with super long arms
Sonzarellli
And.... Uh... Recommend they switch careers
BennyLarva
heard about CRISPR recently. might do the trick

Yay for child labor!!!

What is this America?

Hey, if it's either child labour or adults with broken backs, I'm choosing child labour.

Better make them hit the gym, then!

I imagined a little person in a tiny recreation of the mech suit from aliens
iiiiioooooo
Yessss Ripley Jr
BarfMonger
So we need more than one child for that bag.
iiiiioooooo
Lol
icyanddicey
Wrong. Steroid filled children is the answer.

If you're at it, add meth so they can work longer.
