Unhappy

152, your honesty prompted me to write this.

I was on the final stages of my PPL, when I was working offshore doing a 3 week on and 3 week off rota. When I opted to work in Airport Security.

I was spending my money on flying, bills kids family etc. My other half was getting tired of me being away all the time so I decided to work in a security department SIMPLY because I could then join their club and fly for a much discounted price.

The people in security were dedicated, thoughtful and honest. The only drawback was the the low salary which even their workforce thought poor.

After qualifying, I left because I could not live on such a low wage. I did try - honest.

When security is bad - everyone suffers. When security do their job properly, someyimes in arduous and difficult circumstances - no one gets to see the benefits as they certainly do not get paid a decent wage.

This is my tuppence worth - sorry to have bored you all!!
