AVIATION SECURITY: IT'S A MAN'S WORLD...OR IS IT?

摘要

Most people, if asked, might conclude that the majority of airport and airline heads of security are men. Is it because men are perceived to be 'harder'? Is the female of the species just as capable of stepping up to the security challenge? One female making her mark in aviation security management is Securitas' Debbie Lacy, Airport Station Manager at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. She believes that if you don't think being female is a weakness, others won't see it as one either. "Go for the job you want and if you prove yourself as an employee, people won't care if you are male or female," she says. "I've learned to have confidence in the tasks I perform and I'm supported by Securitas and the customers in my role. I'm a strong individual, so my sex makes little difference as long as I complete the job in hand well."
