Absolutely right, however there are also plenty of other cultures and nationalities working for BA, EZ, KL
And your point being? You might be surprised to know that several nationalities work in AF as well.

So why aren't there that many topics about British, Dutch, Italian or Spanish airlines then?
Perhaps simply because it seems widely popular judging by the comments on this topic, to slag off the french.

AF have had more than their fair share of problems. Tremendous work is being done internally to solve those problems. However incidents will still occur, as in any other airline. The two recent events, however serious they may be, have occurred in other well respected legacy or low cost carriers. In particular, I'll let you guess which airline has an appalling record of unstable approaches, overruns, near fuel exhaustion due to ludicrous company fuel policy, severe GPWS events, and a hull loss. Not to mention intentionally flying with missing bits of aircraft. That they have not killed anyone yet is purely due to luck... Yet they enjoy a rather undeserved reputation in terms of safety. so as someone said (oh it was you! blimey!) let's not throw stones in the greenhouse, thanks.

You hate the french. Fine. But don't let it cloud your superior judgment...
