Beeps - were you in the ambulance? If you were, get your union to tell the airport to get lost. Also, drop these clowns in the moo with the CAA. You don't need to know what the rules are, that is someone else's job. Jobsworths and other such scum will try and make a big deal out non-compliance with their own petty and pointless rules, let them, but withdraw all emergency cover. And do that via the local press. If they want ambulance cover, they do the work, not you! And is it dangerous airside without Hi Viz? Well, most people have no trouble spotting fist sized FOD from the flight deck at night so anything larger is ridiculously easy to spot. Remember, muggers now wear Hi Viz jackets to hide in busy high streets. They attract less attention than hoodies. When driving, the only place I'd find you difficult to avoid would be on a runway when I'm travelling at speed or if you crossed in front of me on taxyway when arriving from a blind spot.
Oh, and thank you. You guys do an excellent job.
