United former ramp ineligible for pass travel benefits

Hello, new to here. I’m asking for my bf who got fired by United during probation due to violation of company policy. In the letter it states that he’s ineligible for rehire at any United position and for any kind of pass travel benefits. I’m a United FA and it’s my dream to bring my loved ones to travel the world with me. We both think the travel ban is too severe for what he did (he’s never done anything malicious like theft, dishonesty, or harming anyone) so we wonder if there’s a way we could ask the company to reconsider to reverse that decision. Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated thank you🙏🏻

AA dislikes social media?

I just seen a good friend of mine have to archive all his content involving the ramp because AA is coming after anyone posting absolutely anything about AA. Now I didn’t ask him the exact convo about what happened and what they said. Now another buddy also out in MCO also had the same thing happen to him and he was just posting plane edits and AA found out rather quickly due to some old heads disliking him and ratting him out to management about him posting content. So management and forgot whom else pretty much told him he couldn’t post anything AA related even just a plane or else he would be let go due to that. Kinda find it ridiculous or am I missing something? Right now I post ramp content thankful the airline I work for doesn’t really have anything against it as long as no SSI appears in the vid. Anyone know someone that also has had this issue recently?

United or delta ramp at ord?

Currently at united at ord and got the invite for the delta interview event. United ground treatment is pretty bad tbh not to include the pay, but it’s sustainable for the benefits and getting experience. I hear about how deltas pay is better which is getting me intrigued already but what is their treatment of ground staff? And if I do get hired do I stay or leave?

Is everyone pretending to just not be dealing with back pain?

I’ve been in this job 4 years and I’ve been dealing with back pain the whole time. Pretty much anything I do on the ramp makes my back hurt, but especially getting in the bin is the absolute worst for my back so I do try to avoid that position. No one ever seems like they’re in pain, I haven’t asked many people but everyone I’ve asked has said their back feels just fine.

Pediatric Wheelchair transport

We are flying Delta out of SMF to SLC to MIA at the end of the month with my daughter and her pediatric wheelchair. What would you ramp agents like to see for safe transportation? The frame is too big for in-cabin storage but we do have breakdown options if needed. Is it easier if it gets to you folded with break on or would you guys prefer to fold it yourselves if we attached an info sheet as the handles tend to hide?

Full chair not folded

Folded without seat but with back and headrest and feet

Folded without seat, back and head rest, but with feet

Folded without seat, back and head rest, or feet

Any option above not prefolded

Tomorrow’s the Final Assessment for ORD Ramp

So this is my last official day for me to study for my final assessment and my emotions are kinda of all over the place. I didn’t necessarily have the easiest study time when I first started this training (as I cried, freaked out or put HUGE pressure on myself) but after this experience, I hope and pray that it works out for me. My instructor told me that it’s 41 questions on the test meaning I can pass getting a 90% answering all of them correctly.

I also found this funny how a lot of people that I’ve talked to that currently work at United says the same thing. This was testing. It was testing was one of the hardest things to start off with in the beginning so once that’s completed everything is pretty much easier once you do the job. I haven’t done Mod 11 Final Assessment but I will also be completing it today as it is due.

Please yall wish me luck 🍀
