France's most important resource is its men and women whose first priority every day is to make the airline successful.Throughout the complex history of Air France, its industrial relations policy has been guided by a will to cultivate harmonious labour relations that are a precondition for the development of a strong company.
Moreover, because a company's performance is shaped by the skills of its personnel, Air France invests continuously and significantly in training. As a global carrier and a leader in the air transport world, Air France relies on a wide array of professions, from the most spectacular, like the airline pilot, to the less known, like the flight manager on whose shoulders rests the profitability of a route.
Professions in the airline are very schematically divided between ground personnel and flight crews. Among the ground staff, there are 12 professional families, related to operations (mechanics, airport staff, flight coordinators, etc.), sales or administration (head office and regional managements). Flight crews include the cockpit crews (pilots) and the cabin crews (flight attendants).
