(Lack of) Use of Rear Stairs for disembarking - evenings at MEL

ISTR they (are supposed to) delay / pause rear stair boarding if there is a nearby aircraft taxying or on pushback etc due to the " noise issue".

Happy to be corrected.

You are probably correct but a/c don't have to be very 'nearby' to be a problem. Hence my stance.
 
Had the same thing happen a week or so ago except it was even stranger...
- Announcement coming in said we would use both forward and rear door
- Ground crew brought up the stairs to the rear door (no orange tape out yet on the tarmac)
- Second announcement saying we would only use the front door
- FA at the rear of the plane had to tell the confused ground crew guy to take his stairs away :confused:

Row 27 :(

Landed about 10 mins ahead of schedule, about 20 mins ago into MEL. Announcement on arrival advised front and back exits would be used. Upon opening front door, ground attendant advised only front door would be used as she was the only staff member 'seeing the flight in'. As we disembarked I could see the rear door ajar, but no steps.
