If you would have ever thought like a child to live the fun at the airport, you have only the residents of LAX parking lot B, they look at that "fun, see" life just is not the focus of real-life airport . It's mostly a matter of dull, everyday routine.
People in the assorted motor homes and trailers in the neighborhood park mode B are arranged decided to all employees, the airline, which have reduced wages by industry through the Bank under pressure to save money bylive in this part-time camper colony. Most of them have homes by state or hundreds of miles of Los Angeles will be forced and otherwise, a second house or apartment while you work.
Today there are just over 100 inhabitants live in Los Angeles Airport Los B's, most of whom are men with jobs, from the aircraft captains and first officers on the mechanics, flight attendants, support staff and air freight company employees. Lot B is located right next to AviationBoulevard, approximately 3,500 feet from the south runway. It is basically a huge, flat surface of asphalt filled with white and beige campers. The deafening noise of engines overhead is an integral part of daily life.
Most of the people of Lot B for weeks at a time away from their loved ones to keep their jobs and a higher pay grade ladder. The colony originally started as a dispersion of RV trailers around the various LAX Parking until airport officialsfinally decided that all of them together in a single batch group. The colony has now become an official code of conduct and an unofficial Mayor: Doug Rogers (62), mechanic, a U.S. airline. Residency requirements include background checks, proof of employment and regular inspections of the airline camper.
The lower wages, layoffs, demotions, and the general insecurity of the jobs that the attractiveness of the Parking Lot B contributes in part the result of a long-running crisis in the aviation sector, which began after theTerrorist attacks of 9 / 11 and worsened with the start of the national economic recession 2007th Decreased salaries for pilots and other airline employees, and tossing aside masters as Lot B resident Jim Lancaster were degraded first officer seniorities that built up over many years of hard work.
Can not keep, "You are a budget somewhere else and make a home here in this economic climate," says Rogers. And that does not seem to the same conclusion that allthe inhabitants of the LAX parking lot B (the only pay $ 60 per month for temporary accommodation) are reached.
