Handlers will always find cheap immigrant labour to move the bags and rear steps....
Not in CPH they won't. And it's not just the unions who'll put a very quick end to that idea, the airport itself will not accept a handling company working on its premises without a collective agreement with it's workers. So the chances of seeing 'cheap immigrant workers' slinging bags and steps in CPH are somewhere between nil and zero.
I think I won the moral high ground that night.
You probably won '**** of the day' award, if anything. Sorry to be blunt, but that was an idiotic reaction on your part. If you're cold or hot, order a bloody aircondition unit and be done with it. Reminds me of the old saying 'in any pissing contests, everybody ends up wet and smelly'.
