VS do it at most stations too.

Why is it though that the SLF don't realise that as it has only taken them 30 seconds to walk to the a/c door and their buggy is not there, it may actually take a little longer to position equipment, open the hold door, unload the flaming things and then lug them up several flights of stairs which is why they actually have to wait up to 10 mins at the a/c side before they come up.

Some even don't bother waiting, so the buggy then has to go back down several flights of stairs, often by which time the rest of the bags have left meaning the buggy will then be very late to the baggage belt until someone can take it after the cargo has come off !!.

If you have a buggy in the hold and want it at the door - at least wait for it !!.

It is actually a hell of a lot of man power involved that delays offloading bags to get buggies to the gate - when you only have a team of 4 men and 2 of them have to lug the buggies up and down stairs, something has to wait !!.
