A person that performs ground operations for an airline on the apron/tarmac or "ramp" as it is known in the industry. Rampers handle the loading and unloading of baggage and cargo, plus service the aircraft with power, water, heat/AC, and the lavatory.
Within an airline, the term generally refers to the whole of the fleet service employees, though within that work group itself it refers only to those agents that actually service aircraft at the gates. As such, some employees -such as bag runners and bag room agents- dislike the term as they don't consider themselves "rampers".

The gate agents were trying to get everyone boarded before the rampers were finished loading the plane.

Get the ramper mug.One of the most bomb-assed combination of foods on the planet. As the name implies, a combination of a fried egg and ramen noodles. Very easy to make, very cheap, and very delicious.
Person 1: "Shit dude, I'm starving and we've got like seven bags of ramen."
Person 2: "Then let's crack open some eggs and make ourselves some ramlettes."
Person 1: "Right on!"

I find the rapetrain very offensive and irritating but I have yet to see it encounter an opponent that can repel it.

Get the rapetrain mug.A man name Kevin is the conductor, and it has no breaks and no stops. You won't get out unscathed. Once you're in, you'll have the muffin man on you. Also, you cant get out for the reason that you cant walk anymore.
