055166k - we expect an inflated salary becasue we're doing a really tough job with a HUGE amount of resposibility. You'll be able to tell me I'm sure, but roughly how many lives a shift does, say, an EGLL director have under their watchful eye? on top of that there are millions of people underneath any potential crash to be taken into consideration!
It's strikes me as a helluva job to take on.. No reason for the pay not to reflect that in my opinion!
anyway after starting this, it's gratifying to see that some people have sympathy with my issues, and Chilli's rant was a reasonably isolated one.
So just because it's not a graduate post and a degree is no pointer to aptitude the nature of the job is a thousand times harder than most other graduate positions. For example - if been at work for an hour! I'm off for a cup of tea and a fag.. you can't do that at the drop of a hat at LACC I'm sure!
