Gate staff are paid a pittance. Airlines have screwed down airport charges so much that airports turn their terminals into shopping centres and theme pubs.

It always staggers me that the economics of an industry which is always telling us that "safety is our first priority" is so economically linked to alcohol consumption - pathetic.

Gate staff will let anyone on just so they can avoid confrontation..sad state of affairs
The Gate staff are trying to board 100-200 passengers as quickly as possible as mandated by the airlines. Unless someone is completely legless or shouting, they probably wouldn't notice if someone is boarding drunk.

You sure about that??..last time out of Liverpool, the gate staff let exactly one of those through. He was stopped by the despatcher at the bottom of the stairs and denied boarding.I agree a difficult job, but why should the paying public have to run the risks of these buffoons.

Because the paying public don't want to pay to have the job done properly.

Does anyone know why the leased A330 Voyager has not had the Premium Cabin installed, I know they have put in the TCX seating and IFE, but seems odd not to offer the Premium Cabin.

Can't see the RAF putting squaddies in Premium class if they call the aircraft back....

Air Tanker

Hi all just had confirmation we are on air tanker flight from MAN to CUN. They are saying we should not see any difference in quality, however this happened last year the seats were poor and IFE system was a throw back to the 90's. Will it be better this year.
in anticipation sam
