The crews on my SOU-JMK and PMI flights (both the Flight Deck and Cabin) told me they needed 2 sets to board pax during refuelling, so we had to stay crammed to the rafters on the Coach for 10-15 minutes, which was all rather unpleasant ---
and that has always been the case of having the need for 2 sets in my whole airport work career as Duty Officer at both LHR & LGW.
It is news to me that you can today board pax during refuelling
with just one set of steps - as you say perhaps nowadays there are varying rules >?
From your nametag do you work for BACF at LCY>?
