This happens because some of the more 'senior' shall we put it drivers only let a maximum of 60 passengers on the buses, yet others let 70+ on, so care to explain how Jet2 are meant to transport 140 passengers to an aircraft when one driver will let 70 on, then the next only letting 60 on. More to the point Jet2 pay Servisair to transport its passengers no matter how many busses are required so why use their own ramp vehicles that are been used for other jobs?
So thats a drivers personal issue not Servisair's. The point I was making in regards to Jet2 using their ramp vehicles is that they have used buses to transport passengers in ones and twos whilst at the same time demanding buses for flights who passengers are in queues of 50+, sometimes the application of common sense, using one of Jet2's own vehicles realising a bus for another one of their flights eases the pressure....

The driver then took the first bus back to the terminal, didn't bother to go back to the LS 757, but go to the FR on stand 8, shortly followed by the second bus. A third bus arrived at the LS 757 ten minutes later, as only one bus was sent to the aircraft the remaining passengers were disembarked through the front doors of the aircraft, the bus driver then deciding to stop taking any more passengers as he had been called to go get the remaining FR passengers from stand 9.
So that is a matter of co-ordination between the Jet2 escort and the bus driver, if the escort knew they're were more than another bus load of pax then the bus driver could have co-ordinated another bus? Also to the fact that their are only 4 busses in use at one time so if another LS aircraft goes remote then a busses will be needed for that a/c as well.

She actually took a photo of the computer screen straight after showing first bag 22.15, the time in corner of the start menu showing 22.27
And Servisair's gain from this would be? Once a/c arrives Ryanair are only concerened about the a/c leaving on time im sure first/last bag times are the least of their concerns.

And don't get me started on Servisair parking GPU's in front of the front doors on 737 aircraft, especially when the ambulift is required to be used
That makes no sense, Servisair GPU's are parked in equipemnt bays, and Jet2 GPU's when Servisair have to deal with Jet2 a/c after 2300 are left in the bays so when the a/c comes onto stand the failed APU procedure can be accomplised. If a GPU can't be left stand and has to be brought on and is not positioned properly then Interserve simply ask to move it forward, and its done manually, no problems.

jet2impress I know that Jet2 do have full handling but this is at its outstations not at one of its main bases where on somedays the operational tempo is high.
