Salaries are to be in accordance with the market, the economy of the country and the profits or losses of the company, clearly AF is showing red numbers. Asking for higher salaries and staying with 3 or 4 flights a month is something that will not contribute to the future of AF or any other operator in the Aviation Industry TODAY.
Fair point.
A lot of staff live in the Northern suburbs which are quite cheaper than Paris. But I also know some who live in the South of France and commute (free tickets) to take their longhaul duties at CDG.
