No - that's what I was talking about - airside. Eg the boarding gantries - whatever they're called. I guess it's kinda sad that I notice these things though :-) Some are dual others are imperial. The first one you see is imperial. And last time I looked pilots were not peasants (I'm making assumptions that you mean imperial=peasant!). P.S. For John S benefit - yes I know, except Russian and Chinese pilots ;-) Possibly
