Right now that seems to be the case, but not so long ago (within the last 5 years or so) it often wasn't, particularly at YMML. You'd be all closed up, bridge off, waiting for the final l/s - and the aerobridge would be deserted. If you needed it back on in a hurry, tough. No fault of the ground staff - an Amazing Tranfsormation was underway, and they usually had to be two or three places at once.
