Thanks Wallabie.. .And I'll add that the French are not all as dumb as to believe that lowering all the possible standards in civil aviation could possibly be any kind of improvement for anybody (except for desperate wannabies seeking a first job), especially the workers, that as we read every day in Pprune are squeezed to the bone and then thrown away without even a decent retirement pension. . .France has had, as Wallabie pointed out, its "low fare" in a more intelligent way. . .I myself moved to France because it is one of the last places where workers are treated as human beings.. .And what is for AF, businessman keep flying in a company that meets their needs and they are ready to pay for it. See the "Navette" program etc.
