As this thread keeps growing faster than I can keep track, bear with me if these questions have been asked before:
1. Had the PNF pressed the takeover button, would the PF have been able to re-take control?
2. Is it normal for a crew at AF:
- not to be using standard calls (maybe even in English), but informal French throughout?
- to be addressing each other with the familiar "tu" in spite of the age and authority gradient?
3. Just for comparison, what is the official cockpit language in say KLM or LH?
