The return journey from Palma was a different story. The check in desk did not open on time, consequently it gave us little time to get to the boarding gate. A huge queue formed and the airport staff said that the airline would only pay for two check-in desks when there should have been three.

Give us security guards a break, if everyone complained to the dft who set out the requireents we have to follow they might change their directives and we might get an easier day at work, we do not agree that all the procdures are necessary, but we are just puppets having out strings pulled by the masters most of whom have never worked on the shop floor of an airport, the rules are there to protect everyone in the sky as well as on the ground, i myself was involved in a security alert on a flight from manchester to toronto on sept 11th last year, and as a guard i was terrified, luckily we made a unscheduled landing in shannon after 4 hours in the air to get rid of the perpetrator, if the public knew and understood the threats they are being protected from our lives would be much easier, although I can say i am very proud of where i work, its a thankless job, we are seen as a nuisance and a hindrance, and until we avert a major disaster such as 9/11 we will get no appreciation, we are human and do our job to our full potential going through intensive training to the point where we are able to take apart firarms and ieds so we can identify the parts individually on an xray machine,we search bags that may contain explosives or poisons, I could go on but I hope you get the point, so please stop encouraging people to complain about us, we arethere for everyone's safety and wellbeing!!!!!
