Maybe it is time for us to commute to Jersey for all flights, we would have better connections throughout the UK, and if they use trilanders and jet streams they could halve the number of firemen that are required and that would be job solved. The only down side would be the extra fare to go inter island, but maybe the airport could subsidise the cost (reduced passenger taxes) with the money saved from sacking the firemen who obviously don't appreciate having a job in this climate.
I detest people who are more then happy to sign a contract for a job, and then down the line decide they want more and hold us, (people who pay their wages) to ransom!
