Something to ponder for those that want more airport jobs for other people to do that they would not be prepared to do themselves. Anyone like to guess what the average wage will be for the extra jobs that would be created in the new terminal, car parks and on the new apron? Not everyone is going to be taken on as a tanker driver or a new member of ATC. Remember that many workers are not offered full time contracts but part time and zero hour contracts as the report below highlights.
The companies working the terminal, aprons and car parks struggle now to hold onto staff as there are very high turnovers of workers who don’t like working 24/7 shift pattens including weekends and bank holidays for a crap wage so they leave when they can.
Anyone prepared to dispute the report below on Luton Airport?

· £8.46 p.h.
I know of young adults working at the airport on just over £6 per hour and a 17 year old on just over £4 an hour although I don’t think he can work night shifts.
