Er, how do you work UNDER one of these lorries? The footprint of the lorries includes the elevating container section and then the ramp that comes forward to meet the aircraft might be moved forward to project to the door.

H and S requirements are that you do not walk under the projecting ramp anyway, no matter who is operating it, trained or not, Gate Gourmet or another company, agency staff or employees.....

Will the catering truck roll over, er no.

Are the baggage doors underneath the pax doors, er no, or at least not for types I can think about, for the evacuation case at least!

I am not convinced by the risk based arguments presented here in this thread. I know that I can be wrong, but I would be grateful if somebody can clarify my misunderstanding of the situation.

1. Spottie is wrong because he has forgotten something, has the wrong mental model, has not made a logical connection relating to risk or has bum information to work from.
2. The arguments presented here were not logical, or at least those said to be from the union perspective.

If 2, then the BA manager who could not counter those arguments should get a rocket.
