To drag, briefly, this thread back
on-topic: Pilots may disagree, but this episode reflects quite well on Air France, I reckon. Mr Pontificator over at
insidetraveller sort of nails it:
"A serious accident should be an opportunity for a company to examine itself from top to bottom. It is good that the current management feels brave enough to take on the pilots."
This is perhaps giving it an unecessarily combatitive spin, but overall I agree, though I would rather see it as Air France management rising to the challenge in a way not often seen at similar British institutions.
