your posts are typical of many of the arrogant egotistic french pilots that I have met.
Before you fall off your Camembert as you did last year at one of my posts concerning french pilots - I am french but fortunately educated overseas.
I am also fortunate in that I have French/British/US/Swiss licenses.
Saying that I attended a SIV course given by a French paragliding school at Annecy at the weekend which was incredibly professional.
What the French are not good at is self criticism - they even believe that they have the best cuisine in the world and liberated Paris!
Air France suffers from a similar mentality that I have encountered in aviation in other countries.
We are the best.
It must be the best method because that is what I was taught.
Experience is everything.
Keep your mouth shut or we won't give you a command.
And the worst is that management is filled with likes from either the same squadron, school or old boys club (masons). Many of which I would not trust to park my car let alone to fly me.
