All BA regional Managers are long gone. As for the incident it's self, I suspect a combination of reduced staff on the ground handler (Menzies) due furlough, and also, which has not been mentioned is that most Handlers rent equipment, steps etc.. and a huge chunk of that has been returned to the owners to save cash meaning the guys and gals on the ground are having to use even less equipment than they would normaly have baring in mind that even in normal times, they don't have enough equipment.
