Anyone who has worked with French pilots for years would not be surprised. Not all of them by any means ... but far too many. Most alarmingly, the preening arrogance switches to a complete lack of resilience when the proverbial hits the rotatables. We had a chap, utter PITA, until things went wrong, then he would burst into tears every time!! (the French Navy and air force pilots were a delight through, so it can be done).
