I bumped into the bloke that runs HAS this morning. He said that as far as they were concerned, they were contracted to provide
a 'staff shuttle' to/from the terminal building. 'Crew transport' was provided from CX City to aircraft side for outbound flights and, for inbound remotely parked flights and freighters a crew bus is provided to bring crew to the terminal. i.e. there is no such thing as a crew bus from the terminal to CX City.
I asked why not and he said he didn't really know but thought CX anticipated more crew dispersing from the terminal and not bothering to go back to CX city every trip.
He also reckoned the uniform staff priority boarding thing has been scrapped in 2003?
Fyi only
