Autraliancalou, you are absolutely right.
Just like President Chirac said, the house is burning and we are looking elsewere.
I never read any attempt by the AF unions or AF pilots to recognize any responsabilities in the awful crash rate we have.
It’s easier to accuse Air Inter pilots who had during 35 years a far much better safety standard than AF.
We receive a lot of training, we have new aircraft, good maintenance and we crash an aircraft every four years.
Sure, the management is faulty, but we also have to admit that we are strongly involved in this mess.
And by the way, when I was FO, I flew with “pure AF pilots” that disregarded my missed approach suggestion or were in the bunk while we were avoiding CBs.
