witchdoctor - in fact the Ryanair crews probably have the least to worry about as they and their handling teams are very used to quick turnrounds. Isn't it their normal practice to use the a/c air stairs as the 'normal' entrance/exit? No-one is going to drive off with those!
I don't agree with most of what Mo'L says, but the 'bollockology' (as he puts it) associated with positioning of jet piers for disembarkation is often ridiculous. As is often the case at BHX where the time taken to position a jet pier (despite all the yellow coats, silly beeping noises and other H&S triv) is often quite ridiculous.
Any update on the poor lass at Corfu?
