I think DC3 and TSM have hit the nail on the head.
If the jet is u/s, let the pax know. Do you really think that they are going to be afraid of a technical hitch. Wake up and smell the coffee! People in the armed forces aren't stupid and without wishing to appear rude, it's not up to the movers to make that decision, just plain discourteous.
Came back from Op Telic once by Tristar and spent the night in Gateway, to be picked up by a Nimrod in the morning. Drove out to the aeroplane, loaded our bags ourselves, and were about to start the engines, when a 1 group mover came on to the 3 group aeroplane and made us get off because we hadn't gone through their 1 group departures!
Now if that isn't jobsworth, I don't know what is.
Movers, over to you.....

PS Logistics Loader, calling people on the PA without their rank is rude, be it Private or Wing Commander, any more senior would warrent a personal messenger. Brevity is not an issue.The people manning the PA have the pax manifest with ranks on I presume.
