LHR terminal 5 ..... no room for staff.
I am told that the provision for airline staff at terminal 5 is lacking to say the least.
Rumour has is that the enginnes have no wash rooms and have to go up into the passenger area to clean up................. that will go down well after a wheel and brake change!
The aircrew will have to check bags with the pax and recover the bags in baggage reclaim after a flight.
Only one staff rest area for all staff................ that will be interesting, the cabin crew having to mix with the baggage loaders!
H&S rules about walking on the ramp turning a short walk to an aircraft into a mile hike (or take the tool box and the brake unit to the aircraft via the passenger area)
I don't know how true this all is but it would seem that the only thing the BAA have got right is the shops, still the staff will be able to eat well at Gordon Ramsey's restaruant with the starters at about £40 it should be well within the budget.
Comments please from the people who will have to work in terminal 5
