Hi,
takata
2. Air France longhaul crews are composed of the "commandant de bord" (captain) and two fully qualified co-pilots (F/Os) having the exact same rank (whatever their age).
Sorry to return on the work bench .. but ...
Seem's the "commandant de bord" (captain) was not aware of the Air France rules concerning the longhaul crews
.. as it's written in the BEA report interim N°3 that the captain asked to the F/O Mr NoName 32 years old if he was a "fully qualified co-pilot"
Again I repeat .. it's a odd question coming from an AF captain.
