leaking to a website like Aviation Herald
Ax pax2908 said, today every reported incident involving a French registered aircraft, or occuring over French territories/waters is put on line weekly in a bulletin published by the BEA . Nobody leaks info the AvHerald or anybody else.
This transparncy does not exist ( yet or anymore) in many other Countries, most probably caused by some stupid news headlines that uninformed journalist deduct from reading those bulletins. These journalists have not yet realised that this is detrimental to safety as a whole.
Air France probably has more incident reports than other airlines because its pilots are very well protected with a very strong Pilot union that will ensure nobody will be undue penalised as a result of an incident report. This is also definitively not the case in all airlines .
