tow-able belts, dont see any problem with them, sure it means u gotta push n pull for a couple of meters but its really no big deal... considering they are considerably "lighter" than the steps that are pulled in... it doesnt delay flights as other stations still do a flight in 20 or 25mins depending on the aircraft...
FMCTEMPEST, i see were your coming from, but the staff that moved across no longer work for servisair, so they should know themselves that they have to do things the way Menzies states, as thats their new employer... if they want to work for servisair then they should apply to go back once summer kicks in, if not then adapt.. menzies wont have a problem filling empty spaces
if i was working for 1 firm and another took over, id expect for there to be procedure changes, and i wouldnt moan.. as thats the way my new employer works
