Perhaps YOU should tell the movers they aren't allowed onboard untill all pax/crew have left the aircraft, it never happens. It was always my understanding that movers shouldn't go anywhere near the aircraft untill it has been declared safe, for example all chaff and flares downloaded by the armourers, yet still they see fit to unload with stores still in the ducks bill.

I agree with the idea that all ramp operations should be carried out by the loadie or techies, but as C130Techie points out we don't have the manpower to babysit the muppets. Where as the usaf, on the other hand, have an abundance of manpower, it always makes me laugh when I see 8-12 bods doing a see in.

The alternative to having albert sitting on your noggin, thanks to the movements section is that they use the collective brain cell and talk to the techies, if not physically check the nose bay, before dropping the ramp. It isn't hard it only takes a bit of common sense.
