This is not the way it works, a nation is not banned, the lack of a regulator enforcing rules is what causes the airlines of that nation to be banned. Nothing to do with its people. The French bashing here on this site is on "The French" and their supposed characteristics making them unfit in some eyes. The earlier quote of :
You would expect behavior and Professionalism like this in the Congo or such like,", is indeed a racist remark whatever you look at it.
Now here we agree is that Air France needs to seriously change its culture. AF is still an airline where some senior captains can basically do whatever they want without any fear of consequences. In the aftermath of AF447 a long list of "deviations from the norm "were identified and were supposed ( and promised by management) to be addressed. It went well for a while, now this BEA report shows us that the old ways are back. There is much more on this report that this fight in the cockpit. that are far more worrying from a safety point of view. And again I agree with you that perhaps a "Korean solution " is needed before AF makes the headlines again with more drastic consequences. Maybe that is also what the BEA is trying to say with this report.
