These are contracted ground staff in an undesirable African location, dealing with expat road warriors and locals and the odd tourist!

In my mind, it is hard to take seriouslythis request as our main aim is to get all pax airside asap with minimum discomfort in the given circumstance.

I can provide my staff with the latest Chloe lipstick (or whatever) but it just adds to the cost of local passenger handling...

We already provide them with footwear, sock/stockings, sunglasses etc so it is hard to believe what more the airlines or the health and safety inspectors could want?

And now the airlines want lipstick!

If you work for a GHA at JFK do you get lipstick,. sunglasses, socks/stockings?

I seriously doubt it!

Do GHAs at JFK provide lipstick to staff?

Rant over!
