dsim 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 why mas dont use conveyor belt to load/unload checked-in baggage onto the 737's? at least i didnt see them using it at KCH. same time, Jetstar taxi beside it uses conveyor belt to load/unload checked-in baggage. i thought using conveyor belt to load/unload checked-in baggage would mean less "stress and strength" required from the workers doing the load/unload - and potentially less "handling accidents" resulting in $$ spend to repair/replace mis-handled baggage?
