Possibly our pilot comrades in AF are a little too over indulged and precious and rampant egoism is tolerated. This is disturbing and it would appear that a little humility combined with a CRM reset is required within la belle France national carrier.

I completely agree with your points. Things have not changed over many years. Their arrogant behaviour witnessed by UK crews laying over in the far east.... was unbelievable. When some came to us to be trained or examined there was always the issue of attitude to be resolved.
And it was not.
