I've looked into this job at DIA (DEN), but I have had some sciatic back pain in the past (occasionally I still have some, but it's not chronic) and the amount of lifting concerns me. SkyWest hires all the time out here, but I know that even on CRJ's you can get some pretty big bags.
I know that they give you a back brace, but I still wonder what my back would feel like after a day of doing that. And I have a neighbor who is a massage therapist who claims that if ramp workers didn't use those, the job would destroy their backs. That scares me!
As far as my motor vehicle record goes, I know I'd pass that part.
So, my question would be, how much lifting is there compared to driving? And do the back braces really make that much of a difference?
