Shinnners supporting Airport Taxis

[markmiwurdz]

Fn already have airport que on app al they have to do is transfer that que to kesh and charge a rate to drivers

Kesh and Mondello hold 260 cars. DAP car parks hold 12,000 cars.

Very profitable biz are carparks,mostly automated.

Yep. Take up a huge amount of space too.

You working the kesh now Bubba? or still off work

Still off . Some lads saying there`s a 3 hour wait atm.

Can you imagine if all the drivers who are currently off went back today?,it would decimate the already lower incomes that the drivers currently out there are making.

Maybe the Keshies need to be taught that there's more to this game than the Airport

Bobby Lynch:

To all Dublin airport permit holders
It has come to our attention that not only are our pleas being ignored in relation to a quarterly payment option for our permit renewals but now it appears that the DAA in their wisdom have decided to create a new taxi operations manual without any driver or driver's representative's input.
It has also been made clear that there will be no landside manager dealing with taxi issues and the DAA has also stated that they will not be dealing with the driver's representatives going forward.
This is obviously a very worrying situation, not only are the DAA demanding that the permit renewals are to be paid at the full rate for 5% of the normal workload, they're insisting on this being paid in one installment of €440.00. Whilst we all agree this is a very difficult business environment it does not befit an organisation such as the DAA to be totally unwilling and intransigent to engage with drivers in relation to the quarterly payment option previously available to drivers in good economic times. Furthermore it is a worrying development for drivers to have no right to representation in the event of conflict resolution going forward.
It is on the record that many drivers have tried as individuals to plead their case to the DAA over the last few weeks to no avail as is also the case with the driver representatives.
In view of the above I implore you to make these facts known to your local political representatives as I think , once known, there will be a very dim view taken of the antics of Mr. Dalton Phillips and his staff at the DAA.
It's in our hands to bring these matters to the attention of our elected representatives.

Thanks Silver.
Presumably everything he said is true??

It seems odd that the DAA will not engage with the reps, when they have done so for years.
Whats behind it ?? Anyone ?? @Bubba ??

[silverbullet]

Passenger numbers are down 95% so it's not like they don't have time to negotiate new normal conditions.

[mercenary for hire]

Just a guess but there probably aren't enough keshies working to worry the DAA right now.Their last resort is a slow drive around the airport to cause disruption.Now there's nothing to disrupt.The DAA are probably doing as they please while they can.

Then there's the fact that they don't need as many airport drivers for a couple of years.

[Justin Time]

But before Covid hit, the DAA were saying they were going to ask for the 44 payment in one go, as opposed to previous years when you could do so in installments.
It just seems very strange why (if true) they dont want to engage with taxi reps. I mean isnt that just being confrontational ?

[Bob Shillin]

Or common sense given the calibre to date?

The note from Bobby would suggest a lack of interest from the DAA in the Kesh, probably has a lot to do with the knowledge that the Kesh is no longer required to service the passengers there, FN are I'm sure, supplying them with the daily numbers of drivers they have queueing for work in the area, along with lucrative offers to operate the service without any need for DAA supervision

[Shallowhal]

Or maybe TD42 has it right.
