Oh dear k3lvc

Now how about some real innovative thinking that if there are no pax passing through security (cos there are no flights) they are redeployed in some way to assist the 1,000 milling around in the check in area.

you are starting to think in a logical fashion that would help the customer. Tsk. Tsk.

Seriously, I suspect the main reason is that they are employed by someone else and, because there is no cohesive approach to the customer (remember how much money they save with outsourcing!) then the contracts for those staff would prevent it.

The innovative thinker would have thought of that when the job descriptions were done. The staff could receive a bonus payment on each occasion that they are asked to help out in that way. It is now waaaay too late for logical thought. Whilst security staff have usually belonged to the airport rather than the carrier, it should not prevent agreements being set up in advance and called as needed.
