Yes Gentlemen, another robust debate on yet another important aspect of the intricacies of operating modern jet transport aircraft in this age within Australia.
There are many factors to consider when using rear stairs, efficiency, cost, psychological impact, TEM, CRM, weather conditions, local airport operating procedures, ground staff training, cabin crew training, updating manuals etc etc.
I'm sure we could go on for another 3 or more pages, yet I am concerned that we haven't had an AIP or Jeppesen quote thus far? Surely someone could come up with some relevant regulations to link in with said topic?
Anyway, look forward to ingesting with great interest some more opinions, contexts, historical (and hysterical haha!) stories, standard operating procedures, personal experiences and in 2 years from now a brief revival of the thread to find out ultimately how the all important trial progressed
