Hi PhilBHX
Security contract for the Airfield has gone to ICTS. Best of a bad bunch apparently. Everyone is dreading the takeover as ICTS don't have the best record with the people they have on station up to now. Hardly shining beacons in the security world. Their local managers are abismal.
As for the Fire Service, I don't think there are any problems there. In fact nothing has changed at the station. Pay talks are in progress and they are being offered more than the airport are offering it's employees.
Yes it does seem that the airport company are on that road to becoming landlords. Any loyalty to employees has long gone...
