The direction indeed wants to renegotiate collective agreements defining the conditions of work and remuneration of Air France flight personnel, pilots and cabin staff. With objective, according to our information, a gain of EUR 120 million Ebit, which add to the 500 million to Ebit extra to find at the level of the Air France-KLM group in the coming months, to allow the return to the balance of domestic and European network on fiscal year 2011-2012.
These 500 million additional revenue expected from the resumption of market share on the domestic and European lines with the new offer available from April, should not exceed 90 million. All the rest, EUR 410 million should come from savings and measures of restructuring, including 220 million through a reorganization of French stopovers, logistics and densification of devices and 190 million by deletions of frequencies. Air France should eliminate 15 this winter and KLM, 12, while Regional will close 4 lines out of Clermont-Ferrand in January next to Strasbourg, Marseille, Lille and Toulouse.
However, negotiations which should engage with trade unions of seafarers is not limited to a simple savings plan. According to "La Tribune", Directorate would succeed in its seafarers a perennial productivity "of 15 to 20. But more than an increase in working time, it would be to modify the current system of remuneration of seafarers, based on a significant share of variable pay based on the number of flight hours, to permit a return to profitable growth. "The objective is not lower wages or steal more, but to redevelop the variable remuneration system, says a close source from the folder." Today, the marginal costs of flight personnel are equal to the average costs. Results, 1 of activity more results in 1 of additional costs, which we will not find profitable growth, when the activity will leave.
Fear of overmanning
To try to convince the seafarers, Directorate of Air France-KLM gave a particularly bleak picture of the situation of the medium-haul internally. The operating pre-tax margin became negative 13 on European lines of Air France and KLM and 12 on the French network, for respective turnover of 2.4 billion, 1.4 billion and 1.8 billion. Unit recipe, in steady decline for at least ten years, plunged 15 in one year. For the class client Affairs, its share rose from 34 in 1996 to 9 in 2007.
But for the time being, no Union appears ready to revise valid agreements until 2011 for pilots and 2013 for commercial flight personnel (PNC), pointing out that the decline in activity already significantly reduced the wages of seafarers. Payroll in this category actually declined by 4 in the first half, that the personnel on the ground. These revenue losses must be added the fear of redundancy, which would already be of the order of 800 hostesses and stewards this winter and that should increase with the announced abolition of a post of PNC on the A319 of Air France. Same concern the pilots, who deplore overmanning 100 this winter and engaged in General would be dropped to 50 hours per month on average versus the theoretical 75 hours. Difficult in its conditions to consider an effort of productivity even though, currently, the activity does not generate enough work for all the world.
