I am aware the DAA knew that all of a sudden they were not there, and that they may have rung up an hour or two before their shift. Does the DAA have an on-call facility? I worked in security while I was at university. I would get phone calls at 9.30 in the morning asking if I could start an hour and half ago. If I could, I would turn up and do it. I was not trying to load aircraft but there was a backup of people who could be called and were contactable, long before SMS messages and long before mobile phones or emails.
