Johnm, with respect, I don't think you know or understand the situation at Jersey Airport at the time (and currently). There are no common sense procedures. Aurigny were forced to move lock, stock and barrel. Nobody in the company voluntarily asked to be stuck out in Gates 6&7 with no air conditioning, having to fax load and trim sheets back and forward between check in and the departure gates and having to clear security to go down to the cargo apron and pick up a fully screened box of strawberries going up to Alderney. The passengers suddenly went from being able to walk through the airport door, turn right and be in the departure lounge to being subjected to full security, then the longest possible walk in Jersey airport. This was not a situation of the company's choosing and, had they the opportunity, I'm sure they would have tirelessly worked to exploit any alleviation they could have possibly found.
