At Tullamarine, who employs the people who come to the international arrival’s aircraft door and allow it to be opened? Thanks.

The fruit fly type issues are dealt with long before the door is opened. I'm talking about the person who "allows" the door/s to be opened. That last step after everything else has beed addressed.

Guess I'm not familiar with Oz in that respect. Here, the A/C parking brakes go on, the engines spool down and if the A/C is lined up with the gate the flight attendant on the inside and the gate personnel on the outside decide to open the door. Outside staff could be a handling agent (one of many) or airline's own. There is no formal "allow".

In the majority of cases the handling agent on the out side will knock on the small window and give a thumbs up to the CC member in the inside when the air bridge/stairs are properly aligned, the CC member responds to the thumbs up and having first disarmed the slide, will then open the door. Clearance to open comes from the outside.

*edit. Sorry, vague thread opening made me think you were looking for a job. Didn't realise it was just a whinge.

Standby Scum......you obviously ran into a situation that pissed you off at sometime.
What happened?

I' m off overseas again on Friday, so will get another dose of our special over staffed officious airport ancillary staff. Airline staff generally OK and often very helpful, but still a way to go to achieve US standards of service assistance. At least they try to be nice, unlike the little hitlers in hi- vis vests.
Bah

Should you kick up a fuss, the folk that open the door to greet you are known as Special Operations Forces.
Often there will be a very long delay from when you want to voice a complaint to when you actually do voice a complaint.

Told you he was pissed off.
This from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources may have had something to do with it.
4. Pratique
Pratique, in practice, is permission given to an aircraft arriving in Australia to disembark passengers and crew after determining it is free from any illness, death (animal or human), biological material or vectors of quarantine concern.
Aircraft entering Australia currently operate under a system of automatic pratique, which means pratique is deemed to be granted at the time an aircraft arrives.
However, automatic pratique does not apply, and is taken never to have applied, under the following situations:
The other stuff is about how the airport is run and the quality and work ethic of their employees. (happens all over the world - minimum wages has a bit to do with it)
For the priority baggage, sounds like the second LD3 to be removed from the aircraft was the first unloaded and the priority bag one, second.
I also fly a lot of stand-by and my personal Zen is activated for the whole
travel episode - door to bloody door. Life's too short.
And a whole six minutes? Give me a break. At six minutes, I'm still in my seat, all organized by that time, waiting for the lines in the aisles to disappear - at that point I stroll down the empty cabin and say a quick thanks and cheerio to the flight crew who are grouped near door 1L.

However, automatic pratique does not apply, and is taken never to have applied, under the following situations:
- The commander of the aircraft has given prescribed information in relation to items 2-6 (as listed in section 3 of this document).
- The Director of Human Quarantine has given a direction, before the aircraft arrives, that pratique is not taken to have been granted.
- A departmental officer advises the commander of the aircraft, before or after the aircraft arrives, that he or she has not satisfied that the aircraft is free from infection.

Nobody has answered the original question.
