er that's because we (that's the Royal "we" as I am out now) as a trde do crash ACHE into aircraft.

The issue of manpower is one of the biggest factors. When the SMR said there was a requirement for 1200 movers from the exisiting 865. However there was no money to pay for them so the Aux could provide the extra manpower. It was never envisaged that they would have to provide manpower so often and for such a sustained period of time that the trade would run into the problem that once an Aux has been called up so many time in a period of times (don't remember the figures now) that the Aux couldn't be called up again. So now the trade is in the area of needing more manpower but the Aux cannot provide. Hence the techies being trained to stack bags and build pallets, albeit under supervision, at BZZ.
