'Scariest AF 707 in 1973 by along way as I have mentioned before, so will not re hash tale. Never flown AF since.'
I must have missed that one. Can you put up a link to your original post?
AF has a fairly good safety record, and is one of my favourite airlines along with EK. It helps to speak French: you can speak English, they can speak English, but only if they have to, the aircrew both in front of and behind the locked door greatly prefer their own language, you start the flight as Monsieur le Docteur and end it as 'tu'. I especially like the way that if you are travelling La Premiere the captain comes and greets you personally. I'm always surprised at how many airline pilots also fly hang-gliders, the most complex form of flying and the simplest. One AF captain got so enthusiastic about hang-gliding that her First Officer had to come back and remind her that she had a plane to catch.
