From the job description: The work is physically demanding and involves working as part of a team to clean and dress aircraft cabins, galleys and toilets to tight deadlines whilst adhering to strict health, safety and security standards. So, yes.

Anyone any idea what pay these would be at?

I thought dublin airport would hire baggage people, not aerlingus?

Airports don't employ any one in these positions. It's ground handling agents or the airlines direct who would be the employers.

Airlines handle their own bags....or have a handling agent do it for them.

Does anyone know what it's like to get to the airport using public transport for early morning shifts?

Last year they had short videos up on YouTube explaining the different jobs on offer. I'm sure they're still there. I went for the cabin appearance operative as it seemed interesting and busy. Yes technically your a cleaner but c'mon it's a plane your working on so it's not your average 'scrubber' job:D. Plus if your kept on there's always a chance to move to different jobs in the company.
Your gonna have to be very flexible with hours though, it was a 20 hour contract but the interviewer told me that most weeks you'll be doing around 40 hours, a phone call to come in early or stay late etc.

In Aer Lingus after 9.30pm and prior to 9am on ground positions which require you to work shift-work e.g. 4am starts etc, you will be provided with substantially discounted transport from door to door.

Just in relation to this, transport is only provided if you live within the "transport zone" which if my memory serves is a certain radius out from the gpo. Not everywhere is covered.

Well of course, it's hardly expected the company would be collecting you from say Bray? Within the radius is Swords and Tallaght - So if you're in between both you're covered within the transport zone.

Your post implied that transport was provided based on the shift times, I was merely clarifying that that's not the case.

What way does this transport work?
They send a car or pay for a taxi?

They use a mix of their own vans and taxi's. The discounted charge is deducted from your wages.

Jack1985

Vans are no longer used. Taxi's by NRC.
