    and given your concern about them only working 6 weeks a year do you have faith in the T.A as they do an amazing job with fewer days "working" a year

    No thanks. Dealing with the idiotic travelling public all day? Definitely not.

    Well that's equally interesting, phatbear. As a Stansted local who therefore we might imagine experiences and abides by airport security every day by the sound of it, do you believe that students of all people with no life experience, few connections at the airport, no loyalty, and ears green all the way through are likely to be the right stuff i.e. reliable in any airport security personnel role if they only get 6 weeks work a year at it? I don't - not even for one minute.

    I certainly don't.

    My parents used to own the taxi franchise at this airport for 9 years, and one of my parents is a senior manager for a company there now.

    I spent from the end of June to the end of August working there for the 5 years I was at uni.
