Back around six weeks ago, in the middle of the German vacation season....bags were being lost at various German airports, and massive chaos reigned down upon everyone. So they hyped up how they were going to hire around 2,000 Turks....for airport baggage handlers, and this would be done in a hurry....to resolve things.
ARD (public TV) reported today....the results.
There were only 140-odd Turks to submit a application.
Out of that....only 32 Turks were granted a visa after the security review was complete.
The airport industry? It would appear they weren't surprised, and admit in public now that just getting into the 3-digit range would have made them happy.
Kinda funny, if you think about it. There in early July, there were all this massive hype....how the Turks would arrive and save the tourism industry. Now? The burden is on 32 Turks to save the baggage of Germans.
