UA ground handler at IAD?
 
Hey,

Does anyone know the name of the company that is providing ground handling for United at IAD? Is it different for UA mainline vs UA connection?

Thanks

Not true, UAX ground crew is handled by Air Wisconsin. There's a lot wrong with the operation out of IAD, and the UAX gates over in A are probably at the top of the list.

All the IAD ground staff are UA employed?

Maybe I wasn't clear before... I'm talking about the guys who drive the bag carts around and operate the tugs and such --- those guys are UA employees?

All of UAX is Air Wisconsin handled? Even for flights operated by Trans States and Skywest?

UA Mainline- United Employees.

UAX- Air Wisconsin employees. Doesn't matter if the flight is operated by TS, Skywest etc the ground staff are Air Wisconsin employees. They still wear United gear and have some benefits for United flights etc but paycheck comes from Air Wisconsin.
