A man who loves airplanes Why he quit his job at the airport after 5 months "I don't want to do it again"

Anyway, time-consuming work. When he arrived late, he was in a shambles

Looking back on his workplace at the time, "Anyway, it was a tough job, and the hourly wage was just a little above the minimum wage, and the amount of work and the price didn't match."

"It took about 60 minutes from the arrival of the plane until it departed, so it was a time-pressed task to unload luggage from the arriving flight and immediately load luggage for the departing flight during this time. If the arrival was delayed due to weather conditions, etc., it would become even more hectic, and it would turn into a battleground.It was a harsh environment where I was forced to work while sweating strangely if my physical condition or stomach was not feeling well."

The work was done in a group of 10 people. According to the group, there were people who harassed him, but the men's group was full of members who were kind, courteous, and gave accurate advice. There was a moment when I felt a sense of accomplishment even in a harsh situation where I was pressed for time. That is "seeing off the departure plane".

Man who likes planes, airport work Why I quit after 5 months

"When the plane we worked on headed for the runway and started moving in front of us, we looked at the windows of the passenger seats from front to back and waved our hands. I was looking forward to it.Other than that, there were no positive aspects.I learned the fact that fixed-term employment, in other words, once the employment period expires, you have to quit even if you want to continue.”

Fixed-term employment is an hourly wage "Employees are allowed to commute by car"

The period of fixed-term employment was five years.

"Don't you think a year goes by in a blink of an eye when you're working? When you get used to your job and you're in a position to teach newcomers, you think, 'I have to quit.' What would it be like not to?’ I thought.”

In addition to the harsh work content, the environment where you have to quit when the time comes. Moreover, the treatment of fixed-term employment was the same as that of part-time workers.

"Pay is calculated on an hourly rate. Even though I work exactly the same as employees, I can't commute by car, which is permitted for employees. When I was living in the countryside at the time, I had to use public transportation. I had a lot of trouble because there weren't many.I had relatives pick me up at the airport, and sometimes I would drive my own car and park it in the paid parking lot around the airport."

It is not unreasonable to want to quit because it is harsh and hard work is not rewarded. In the end, the man retired after five months. This is how I describe my current state of mind.

"It's an irresistible job for those who love airplanes, but since then I've grown to dislike airplanes, which I used to love so much, and now I don't even want to ride them anymore. It's a job I never want to do again."
