But it must have been a nightmare sitting by different pools, drinking different company-paid-for cocktails, knobbing different trolley-dolly’s week-in, week-out on the long-haul layovers.

I have just carried out a project along the access route for the trolley Dolly's from their car park to staff search and watching them all walk in all day makes me really think I should have been a pilot.

I love working in airports and it's great going airside. But without a shadow of a doubt the staff car park is best place to work. I had a lad with us from the airside team, he thought he was in for a s**t time working landside. After about half an hour he thought he had died and gone to heaven.
