Seeing more of the operations side of Heathrow would be good, but I have to say
I thought the original Airport wasn't half bad. Stuart (Animal Control), Anita
(VIP Services), the VIP photographers...

Yes, that was a lot better than the easyJet series based in Luton. But
it still didn't have nearly as much as I'd have liked on the airside
or operations.

Do you remember the Air Canada ground purser (I forget his official
title) who featured in a few episodes? He once sorted out my
pre-selected seat which had been wrongly (but deliberately) occupied
by another passenger.

I wonder how many of those regular characters still work there?

The interesting thing about that one is that many of the staff who featured
in it still work there, and are recognisable - but perhaps not quite as
young

I guess they're a good employer. Certainly, unlike another airline I'm
sure everyone knows of, they seem generally to be cheerful and helpful.

But how many of the airport staff actually worked for easyJet itself? I
though most worked for the ground handling agent, Menzies, despite wearing
eJ uniforms.

Fair point, "they" included both EZY and the agents.

Of course, it could be that even agency staff enjoy working with EZY as
opposed to certain other low cost airlines. EZY does seem to be a likeable
organisation for both its customers and staff, including agents. The only
person who appears no longer to like it is Stellios (who wants dividends he
can invest in his other companies, not growth).
