No more Netjet pilots on Air France flights ??
Hello,
I just heard a Rumor: Netjet's management has decided that Air France was off-limits for their crews...
When dead-heading, they are no longer allowed to fly on Air France, because of AF's safety record.
Tell me it's not true !
It would make me very sad... I always enjoyed upgrading them and exchanging views during a flight...
If anyone at Netjet could either confirm or infirm this rumor, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

I can't believe for one moment there is any truth in this........for a start it woud be very diificult to get crews to some regional French airports without AF.

Sounds like a load of horse-cr*p to me!!
Suspect its a case of chinese whispers. Could it have come from the fact Air Farce want crew members travelling as pax to "de-robe" and take off rank-tabs etc so as not to confuse the other pax!!????!!!

I do not know if this is true. But if it is, it doesn't amazes me.
I only fly AF if i really have too, to many accidents with fatalities for me to feel safe...
Just curious if any of you feel the same?

Yep, I have encountered the "you cannot travel in uniform" twice whilst positioning with Air France from London LHR. I have to patiently tell them that I am not staff, I am not traveling on a staff ticket and I (well, NJE is) am paying pretty much full fare to travel to work...

Okay, great !!
Thanks for all the replies people...
I will seriously flagellate my contact...
I hope to see you netjets pilots onboard soon, and I won't give you any hassle on the uniform thing, which I myself find quite ridiculous...
Cheers

I know that Netjets is not really discussed much on Prune anymore- I wonder why that is, but I think there are far more serious topics being discussed in the 'office'.
Viva Netjets!

Really? Good hint, aka avoid AF if poss for me. What is the next thing the airlines want to rule? Iīm so glad I donīt hav to put up with their crap every day.

Why would anyone like to travel in uniform anyway? The logic in Air France's thinking is that in case of an emergency (evacuation etc) all uniformed people are part of the crew of the aircraft, and at least should know what to do and where to exit etc. Fine with me.
PS. You can presumably travel wearing blue trousers and white shirt + tie, just keep your epaulettes and uniform jacket in your hand baggage.
