You haven't got the faintest idea of what you're talking about.
Air France enjoys the skills of a few ( grant you not bezillions ) of anglo-saxon pilots, as well as iltalians, belgians, swiss, Luxemburg. So, that kind of bags it as far as your ludicrous " old boys club " allegations go.
Well, I did forget a minor detail..........they all speak french. Is this the networking you are refering to.
I think Allinace française runs a pretty decent crash course somewhere near where you live.
Sorry they're not rolling the red carpet out for you. Sure sounds like a bloody waste of skilled labour !!
