Air France sentenced to translate all its manuals into..........French .
Following a court action from a minor Air France pilot's union, the airline has been sentenced to translate all of its manuals, approach plates ( common to both AF and KLM ), symbols decoding, tutorial, flight manuals, SOP's .......into french !!!
This decision is hailed as a huge victory by a fair number of pilots, leaving a whole lot others dead silent and probably speachless and very embarrassed.
AF has 6 months to comply after which it will be fined 5000 euro a day per manual not entirely translated.
This is lesson one on how to bring a global airline to its knees..........and ram some french into dutch throats !!
Why fly to the the moon when we already live in plain cloud cookoo land ?
For those interested and french fluent, I think you can fish this ruling somewhere on the net. I read it and can't stop sobbing eversince.
This no doubt, will help unemployed french pilots find a job abroad.
