What happened in AF does not come from pilots but mostly from ground staff.
in AF they have made tough efforts. Pilots not so much. Flying 60h per month, while others airlines they fly up to 90h (in mine, our pilots fly 90h per month).
Britsh aiways, Lufthansa etc...managed to be more productive. (i am sure that pilots at these airlines fly more than those at AF).
Ground staff in AF have the lowest income while pilots in AF are still very well paid. Flying 100 h more each year would not be a crime for them !
Note : There are enough unemployed pilots in France would be very happy to get a job in AF and bring food on the table.
