Makes sense that it is the Skytraders A319 and airstairs are installed on it - this is the aircraft that flies down to Casey Base in the Antarctic and I can't imagine a set of stairs being kept beside the blue ice runway down there - it would be a case of "anything you need, bring it with you" ...
...or in this case - "Don't forget it when you leave!" |

To quote your Flightglobal blog post Will, I think all the answers are contained right here - "Skytraders has instructed the non-flying pilot to retract the stairs and close the cabin door, a duty previously assigned to flight attendants."

Perhaps, but to my understanding there have been incidents where cockpit indicators have gone off mid-flight indicating the stairs were deployed.
(Presumably for ash cloud to board?) |
