Squawk7777, bull's eye on that one!
You are so right, one of the roots of the problem in AF Safety Culture is what you just said, the reporting culture. I am not so sure what their standard is over their reporting policy over there, but after working in 3 continents, they are all very different. In Asia, some airlines would require mandatory reporting of exceeding of 30 kts during taxi, with disciplinary action if it was found it was a violation, whereas in North America, it would not trigger anything, hence people would less likely report it (in North America)
This is what I mean by "French Standards". There are no more "National" standards in this business, everyone pretty much has to abide by IOSA as the golden standard of Operational Safety, and regulators are more and more aligning flaws and caveats between their regulations and "world class" or international best practices in terms of SMS, FRMS, NOSS and all the shenanigans...
