This is T5 ...

As I understand it to date [unless any of these items have been resolved] and relating to T5 only [not management of BA or BAA specifically]:

1. Baggage computer has gone down.
2. Suggestions that baggage handlers are playing around with the air-side operation.
3. Lifts and other bits of T5 infrastructure aren't working [i.e. Is the South Galleries Lounge now fully "S"? How many lifts are working?]
4. Business car parking is being used by emergency staff.
5. Staff Sy access is/was unable to cope.
6. Baggage staff air-side are unfamiliar/untrained on the tasks.
7. nn,nnn thousand bags are adrift in "BA-aero-space".
8. De-icing on Sunday morning was apparently another T5 failure.

Have any of these aspects been fixed?
Is there any sign of progress?

Surely the dynamics of this site can offer some useful updates on what's happening for the benefit of Ppruners who may have to use the place.
"Kill Will" can be said somewhere else ... what's happening NOW at T5, folks?
