On one hand; it is pretty clear Air France has a Safety Culture problem, and I ain't telling you anything you don't already know, judging by all what we see and know.
I would like to know what the "incident" reporting standard is in order to determine whether AF has a Safety Culture problem. Not defending AF, but recent incidents of cockpit fumes with Germanwings and LH crosswind landing in HAM showed me that a certain hush hush mentality exists in Germany.

Looking at my airline, we have incidents from altitude deviations (or level busts) to nav errors and runway incursions. Do we have a "Safety Culture" problem? Not according to the FAA. Sh!t happens on the line, and no one can't tell me that LH, BA, VS etc. are immune from things going wrong. It depends if and how one reports it. Since this is a mainly British/US bulletin board, I am not surprised to sense (a little) bias.

In other words: My poo doesn't stink.
