Firsty CO as im aware in tuesday and sunday but i dont no wot is goin on wth there winter timetable anyway. Second friday afteroon & evening was very busy at the airport due to alot of EZY flights running late from other airports. Resulting with certain aircraft being offloaded late due to the ground crews still stuck loading other aircraft. So it was slow for some crews getting to landing aircraft to put stairs on, when working on other planes. The staff levels are the same as the summer just a few people on the sick and on a/leave. The main factor was the lot of delayed inbound flights affected all other flights that were ontime or early, we can not be in two places as once non one person put a set of steps on to aircraft as it is a two man job. Safe first over Speed!
BTW it takes 15/20mins to Offload a boeing 757 with a crew of 4/5men, then 10mins to offload the bags off the flatbed on to the arrival belts. Total time 30/40mins not bad compared to MAN or LGW with a waiting time of an hour to 70mins for a offload.
