Unfortunately this AF A319 rejected TWY T/0 at Sofia and the loss of separation on 7 Sept 2012 between A319 F-FRXC and B735 OK-XGB on approach to Prague, when AF F-FRXC allegedly deviated from standard procedures after way point ERASU and reportedly ended up in the flightpath of the Czech Airlines B735 already established on finals, seem to fit in with the gist of a recent investigative French TV reportage on AF:
Having said that, on the LBSF incident, not necessarily to excuse the AF-crew or to say anything negative about LBSF (on the contrary, its a fine airport), but just to point out that AF normally is at parking positions 1-4 on the east-side of T2. With most of the time T/O being from RWY 27, AF would take TWY L and H to RWY 27. Or in the more rare case of T/O from RWY 09 (like in the incident flight) they will take TWY K, turn left unto H, turn right onto B and then the first right onto RWY 09. For some reason AF-1587 were on TWY J (south and parallel to TWY H, turned right onto B and (as if they thought they were on the "normal" TWY H) turned from B the first to the right, not onto RWY 09 (which from J is the second to the right), but onto....TWY H. Explicable, but not immediately excusable
