No. For different reasons.

I have twice flown to the USA with Air France/Delta. Seat allocation was a shambles, cronic overbooking making the check in like a scrum and half the staff at CDG were on strike. Oh yes, one of the aircraft, an AF 767 was a complete shed inside with broken trim and collapsed seat cushions.

The connection between ATL & MCO was a Delta L1011. It was all cattle class. The centre overhead bins had been removed presumably to save weight. It was like sitting in a cathedral! The air conditioning pipes were dangling from the ceiling.

This was back in 2000 & 2001 but never again with AF or through CDG. If you remember a couple of years later part of the roof of the terminal at CDG collapsed.

Edited to add:- In case you think I am too fussy I have flown to the USA with KLM/NW, Lufthansa, BA, Eire Lingus and Virgin with no issues.
