“The recruitment proposal in the subsidiary matches the salaries offered in competing international companies, but these salaries are still relatively lower than those offered before the pandemic,” the minister said in response to an oral question on the situation of RAM trainee pilots at the House of Representatives.
In 2015, RAM decided to contribute to the training of several Moroccan pilots in Toulouse (France) by guaranteeing the credits contracted by the beneficiaries of the training. RAM has given priority to the recruitment of the latter in case of vacancies.
These pilots trainees have affirmed through “documents signed by them, that the company is not required to hire them at the end of the training period,” the minister explained.
Some of them, he said, have accepted the job offer at the RAM subsidiary and other trainees, who trained in other countries, have agreed to the same offer.
Given the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which brought the global air traffic to a halt for almost two years, RAM has adopted a plan to control its expenses to ensure its sustainability and competitiveness, Abdeljalil added.
Part of this plan, 10 aircraft out of a total of 60 were sold and a staff departure operation was launched.
The company, continued the minister, has decided to revise its recruitment policy by hiring the pilots in a 100% owned subsidiary with the aim of adjusting RAM’s expenses and strengthening its competitiveness in a highly competitive open market.
