It's not French bashing. The B738 over-run at Thesaloniki thread has similar views being stated but that crew were not French (as far as we know).
What cannot be denied though is that AF appear to have had more instances when things have gone way outside the envelope of normal operation. Some they got away with, some they didn't
A340 overrun landing during a TS in Toronto. Hull loss, miraculously all survived.
A330 - AF 447 incorrect reaction to unreliable speed and subsequent stall. All lost.
A319? - go-around at LFPG mishandled by Capt resulting in aircraft "porpoising" down the runway at very low RA - 76' with gear UP!
A340 - approach into LFPG earlier this year(?) with similar characteristics to the one this thread is about i.e 9d@10,000', 4d@3,700'.....and subsequent 26 degrees pitch and low speed after false glide capture
A320 - AlphaFloor activation during visual approach into MRS.
These are factual incidents. There's probably more but I can't remember them. All airlines have their moments when things go a little awry be it ATC, weather or self induced. This is not French bashing - it's just stating a fact - and we're only discussing 1 year after the event because its only just come to light.
You say that work is being done within AF - well that's great news - let's all hope it has the desired affect and prevents a repeat of the above incidents
