Lowest Job In An Airline
Being a "security officer" for an airline and particularly QF would have to be the lowest job on the planet...
I have to disagree... I am sure most of them don't enjoy doing this kind of thing and it is only a small part of what is probably a fairly interesting job. If I were in security and were forced to do these searches, I would probably try to turn a blind eye to the "smaller things" as much as I were able.
A friend of mine just had a QF security officer on her flight from SIN-SYD. He confirmed he had been in SIN for security searches and, of course, it is something he doesn't like to have to do.
I'm sure there are decent security officers just as there are some F/As who are arseholes.
I just hope no one gets the sack over anything petty.
