Thumbs down

Out of interest, does anyone know who started the rot of this UTTER BLOODY NONSENSE of aircrew being expected to wear council road diggers' coats at aerodromes? I spent 25 years in 'tone-down' operations and no-one was ever hit or injured by even the most careless airside driver. So what has changed? Perhaps it's a cop-out by cheapskate operators who just employ any old half-wit to drive a baggage truck without adequate training?
Let's have a campaign of actively boycotting places like Robin Hood International which insist on this pointless bureaucracy!!
