GREETING S E SO

When doing the duties of Bag N

Drop,

when a passenger approaches
is; FO
Hi there, please unselect your suitcase and click on the white box next to me in
order to drop your bag.
Please avoid long greetings, and just get straight to the point. Emojis and
symbols are not needed at all, however common sense is.
Your greeting should always include the fact that the suitcase tool must be
unselected in order to drop the bag, and that the Customer should click on the
white box next to you.

In order to operate a Bag Drop Belt, get into the seat behind the desk and click
on the “Enable/Disable Belt” button on the GUI that looks like this:

If the Bag does not move, try pressing the button again. If this still doesn’t
work, contact the flight host. Ensure you inform passengers there could be a
delay in dropping their bags, and/or to go to your colleague next to you if
possible.
You can also use keybinds instead of using the GUI. This can be confusing,
however it is all down to personal preference. The keybinds are:
