I see Servisair is popular here <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> . Just my 2 cents: I was riding on jumpseat of our aircraft into SNN, where we used Servisair. I was very surprised with crew apron transport they provided. It was old Toyota or VW minibus, seats were covered with.. i don't know what it was, but looks like a sh*t, there was some hand tools droppped between passenger seats, several oil cans were also there. But the funniest thing was the passenger's sliding door: first it took 5 attempts to close it and then it dismantled and fell to the ground(!!) during apron ride. I haven't faced such things even in Tripoli and Kinshasa.. .Second time, again in SNN, Servisair delayed ad-hoc charter for 6 hours due to lack of manpower to load 5 tons (bulk)! Only after captain paid 500 bucks DIRECTLY to their loaders (without any receipts), the load process was started.
