I find 15-20 minutes a bit hard to believe, within a few minutes the flight crew and/or the airport would have contacted the handling agent..
edit - did you perhaps consider contacting the airport and/or handling agent to express concern, mentioning it on the forum does nothing at all

As long as you know what the person is saying, can't see what the problem is. Regarding stair delays, I'm not saying your telling porkies but the turn around times at BFS are 35/40 mins. If handlers are taking 15/20 mins to bring steps to aircraft, surely the airlines would be none too pleased. Were your flights the last ones in for the day? Regarding "optimistic" posters at COD page, theres really no need to rip them a new one is there?
Tigger/Zag. 15-20 minutes has been the maximum. 10 minutes is not unusual at all in my experience. This is nearly always when the flight has arrived early. Does ATC/Ops not update the folks out on the apron that the flight('s) early.
As a matter of fact, the captain of the flight I mentioned I was on before Christmas, apologised for the delay, and said he'd be making a complaint through official channels. I assume he did. His word will carry much more weight than mine I'd imagine.
As for complaining about it on this forum; I'm sure some of its readers will work at BFS.

I was reading the info from sticky at top of the page (last night) dated 23rd January with the usual message of beware what you are saying on this website with a message addressed to those using the Belfast Thread (didn't state whether BHD or BFS)
I note this morning that it is still dated 23rd January but when you go to the page the message from 23rd January has now been removed. Anybody else see this?
FORUM SOPs. PLEASE READ....UPDATED 23rd JANUARY 2013
