not investing in facilities from day 1 has caused more issues than anything else. Until recently having to tow 2 power units to NE/SE was crap.
Now having to tow 2 air con units so you can turn off the APU(as per policy) and keep the cabinn cool for the cleaners, that is crap.
Having to undo 30 metres of hose and tow the things for 500l of fuel every shift is crap.
Moving it around the jetbase you need 10 people to tow and marshall it, that is crap.
Not having proper stands and equipment to work on upper deck doors/slides is crap.
WTF batman!! just another day at Base not just A380 land.

PS. Base usually have more than ONE aircraft on the ground in SYD to look after each day, as you know. more like 10. So it is no bed of roses in the real world chum.
