But she did recommend some great ways in - working on the information desk, as a security guard, or in passenger services. Karen was very keen to recommend BAA as an employer with great opportunities for people willing to start at the bottom and work their way up the ladder. Births, deaths and everything in between happen at an airport. Well . . . Dealing with the deaths is something you never get used to and it happens more than you'd think.
People die on departure, in transit, on arrival.
We had a woman die recently who had come to pick up her parents and had a heart attack leaving the car park. It's always very sad. As for everything in between, dealing with security issues and emergencies does mean that there are occasionally frightening or dangerous situations. We had a fire last week which unnerved me, mainly because I deal with so many false alarms. I was first on the scene and wasn't expecting to encounter actual flames and smoke.
