"Don't stay too long! You'll be paid below market rate when you start and get a 2% raise every year until you leave. This means you'll get farther and farther below market rate and often make less than the cost of living. Other airlines will pay you more and give you better benefits, sometimes in less than a year.The US work force is small (only a couple hundred) and unless you're a male French national you can forget about rising above middle management. The occasional exceptions are hired from outside the company.Top management positions are filled by French expatriates who stay for 4 years. Their careers depend on pleasing their superiors in Paris so none of them want to authorize spending more for anything in the US. The practice of investing for the future doesn't exist. If you're a French citizen working for Air France in France you have a government job, and they're run about as efficiently as the US Post Office."
