I wouldn't bother with the stress and nastiness that goes with the security role. Not only are some airport/airline staff utter cocks (they seem unable to put pen to paper to write to MPs et al about the farsical dft arrangements), but the nasty politics that exist between security teams can be more than childish. It can be down right hurtful. Throw into the mix the constant union bickering and you soon get worn out, or turn into a security drone.

I'd apply for a trolley recovery job. Little to no passenger or staff interaction. Just you and your team. 12 hour shifts, but you only work 5 hours of them (half hour on, half off then 1 hour lunch break, MOL would go mad if any of his contract pilots had those terms!) can't speak for GIP at GAL but that's how the old BAA system worked. Happy days indeed. If pax interaction is what you want, try a job on the info desks. You need a second language I believe.

Good luck!
