Human Resources The personnel in this Subsector are composed of 47 professionals3 Class I (have degrees)16 Class II ( 7 are at airports)2 Class III26 Class IV (4 at airports)This level of professional staff is inadequate for effectively fulfilling the present Mission and functions of RMS at all levels. There is also lack of personnel for customer relations (awareness, identification of their needs) and marketing. However, while we stress the great need for more staff and training, the great contribution being made by the present staff under these conditions is highly commendable
