The French have a couple of pretty fundamental flaws in their approach to life in general, and this is reflected in the way the country and its public and private enterprises operate.

Firstly there is the credo that most French people follow, that French is best, and that nobody else has a clue. Therefore they will not listen.

Secondly there is the 'blame' culture whereby somebody else always has to be blamed for failings, and there is never a place where the buck stops, there is never anyone who will accept that he screwed up and now has to accept the blame and put things right.

Until this changes, there is no hope that things will improve.

Despite all that, Air France is a pretty good airline and one I will happily fly with as long as I don't have to change 'planes in that festering dump of an airport which is their main hub.

cap, it was not clear enough? you are not welcome in this thread.
I see you have something against french people in their approach to life in general, so go directly to complain to the french embassy in your country, because here we speak about aviation.
You are really, really border line.

You don' t like the french culture, french people, french way of life? Why are you coming in the french thread cap? What are you doing here? Your intention here are not clear.
You are coming from south africa right? Everything fine there?

This is an open forum and I have every right to express myself on it. You can tell me I am not welcome on it, that's quite simply your view and not one I have to bow down to.

Your response to my comments really only serves to further validate my opinions. Of course I expect to get further abuse here as most of the people on this forum are likely to be French and therefore as blinkered as yourself. It really doesn't worry me.

You people are not the supreme beings you perceive yourselves to be.

You are really, really border line.

What does this mean? Border line of what?


You don' t like the french culture, french people, french way of life?

I have pointed out a couple of areas of deficiency. You have taken that as a dislike. A bit sensitive I think?

You are coming from south africa right? Everything fine there?
No everything is not fine in South Africa, but many things are a lot better than in France, and nowhere is perfect.

My comments are based on plenty of experiences of working with French people, so I do know what I am talking about.

That is not my point of view only, you already forgot the thread "forum francais en perdition"? You already pissed of everybody, and on purpose you admitted it.

Of course I expect to get further abuse here as most of the people on this forum are likely to be French and therefore as blinkered as yourself.
You people are not the supreme beings you perceive yourselves to be.
You repeat yourself... This is an aviation thread here, the pprune purpose is not to attack a nation, but to discuss about airplanes.

No everything is not fine in South Africa, but many things are a lot better than in France
I am happy to know your country is better than mine. Congratulations.
Now that we all know that you are polite, respectful, modest, may I suggest you to go elsewhere?

The title of the thread is : "les Francais sont-ils moins bons que les autres ?" I don't see any reference therein to aviation. Do you? Of course I bow down to your superior knowledge of your native language and I could be wrong. You tell me.

I didn't 'forget' the other thread. I stated there that I posted on it to obtain a reaction, that did not have to be a negative one, but some of you chose, as I expected, to make it so, rather than to take some criticism on the chin. Very French!

I note that you haven't answered my question :
You are really, really border line.

I did not say my country is better than yours, that would be a very childish and shallow comment. I said that many things are a lot better than in France - not quite the same.

Of course you can suggest I go elsewhere, but it is only a suggestion and not one I have to accept.

What? You failed to understand this thread is aviation related?


I didn't 'forget' the other thread. I stated there that I posted on it to obtain a reaction, that did not have to be a negative one, but some of you chose, as I expected, to make it so, rather than to take some criticism on the chin. Very French!
Yeah... Let' s read again what you posted in the other thread:
I know my French is poor but it is an irrelevant language, and I still speak it better than most Frenchies speak English or any other language.
Just the type of defensive nonsense I would have expected from your nationality. Thank you for proving the stereotyped view of the arrogant and bombastic Frenchman to be correct.
So after what you posted, the reaction of ours did not have to be a negative one? Why, is your comment a positive one?



I did not say my country is better than yours, that would be a very childish and shallow comment. I said that many things are a lot better than in France - not quite the same.
Very clear indeed.



Cap, I have to admit you are interesting:
-You write french people say they are the best (should I quote you again before you affirm you didn' t mean exactly that?), but meanwhile you say in your country many things are a lot better than in France.

-You write french people are arrogant, yet you explain to everybody in this thread that you are the one being right, the one who can judge a nation. You say also you speak better french than most frenchies speak english or any other language (we can continue in chinese if you want, 好吗?), which is very modest of you.

-You post a negative comment on french people, and afterwards you are wondering why the reactions are negative...

-You join a thread where most of the posters don' t want you...

-You hate french people and culture, yet you understand french, you know Aznavour, and Johnny Hallyday.

Now that I understand you really want to stay here, may I ask you a question? How many south african speak french and know Aznavour?

You are a really interesting individual, not twisted at all.

Your logic is absurd .... twisted, interesting.

The thread was about 'The French', 'Les Francais', not France. You introduced the 'my country is better than yours' approach.

It never fails to amaze me how when the French leap to the defence of their great nation, they bring up Johnny Hallyday, a Belgian has-been, and old Charlie Aznavour, an Armenian. Is that really your best shot? Oh no, sorry I forgot, you have a great football team too. Sorry if this picture doesn't include the Maghrebins too.


You hate french people and culture,
Where did I say that?

yet you understand french, you know Aznavour, and Johnny Hallyday.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't speak French, and have heard of a couple of your utterly mediocre performers, who aren't really French at all.


Now that I understand you really want to stay here, may I ask you a question? How many south african speak french and know Aznavour?

I have no idea. Probably very few, but why is it even relevant?

I note that you have still not answered my question. And you wonder why I say the French are difficult to work with!

Yeah? Quote me. You are the one Cap, don' t you realize? Should I quote you when you wrote "nationality" and "country" or you are able to read your own post yourself?

This is not the subject of this thread. It is the opposite. You are the one attacking you remember?

Now that I understand you really want to stay here, may I ask you a question? How many south african speak french and know Aznavour?

Yes very few... It just amazes me to see that you are one among those very few, and attacking french in this thread. Seems weird...

utterly mediocre performers, who aren't really French at all
You are really judging everyone aren' t you?


I note that you have still not answered my question. And you wonder why I say the French are difficult to work with!
This is the only thing I am talking about, don' t you see? Explaining to you why you have crossed the line. It is exactly the subject of all my post since we are discussing, right on.

Crossed what line? Your imaginary line? The Maginot line? I hope you know enough about your nation's magnificent and proud military history to know what I'm talking about.

I can't be bothered to continue discussing this with you here, it just doesn't work. It is impossible to have a rational discussion with someone who twists everything. Try reading your responses and see if they make sense.

You are completely right, as French people always are. It's rule number 1. And rule number 2 is .... if a French person is wrong, refer to rule number 1.

Maybe next time I'm in France, I do some work from time to time in Fontainebleau, we can discuss this over a glass of South African wine - many of which are far better than yours, although I have to concede that the French took viticulture to South Africa.

Bonne soiree.

frenchies...

Capetonian,

Has much as I hate to admit it, you are bang on, has a frenchy living now overseas for the last 6 years I can only agree with your perspectiv, reading this topic, I would add that we French people have very little sens of humor with anybody disrupting our narcissist image in the miror...

KAG, je suis d'accord avec ton analyse, cependant, je ne crois pas qu'il faille mettre le crash du concorde "a part": les incidents a repetition avec les pneumatiques sur les 30 dernieres annees qui n'ont pas ete traite correctement traduise une "safety cultur" deplorable...

Pour repondre a la questions "les francais sont t'ils moins bon que les autres?" je repondrais "non" BUT: a force de se croire tellement superieur en tout, on finit par se planter...

la pensee "proactive" nous est inconnu, l'exemple du concorde encore:

-"nous avons les meilleurs pilotes et le meilleur avion du monde, donc c'est forcement la faute aux Americains qui laissent tomber des pieces de leurs avions..."

du cote americain, s'ils avaient crashe concorde leur approche aurait ete:

-"what did we do wrong?"
-"how can we correct it?"
-"let's do it now and move on!"

le Francais ne supporte pas de perdre la face, c'est pour cela qu'il s'obstine et s'isole parfoit, je regrette que nous passsions pour des clowns a l'etranger...

cheers

Oui air tractor, tu as surement raison, il faut peut-etre prendre ca avec humour.

Je suis pas un specialiste du concorde, mais il y a pas un avion qui a perdu une piece metallique avant le decollage du concorde?
Je ne suis pas tres sur de la question, mais un avion qui perd une piece metallique, causant l' eclatement d' un pneu d' un autre avion, ca rend la question assez epineuse.
En tout cas c' est pour ca que j' ai mis ce cas a part. BA utilisait les memes pneu n' est-ce pas?

Il est tres bon de se remettre en question. 100% d' accord avec ca. Je m' efforce d' appliquer cette notion. Mais l' auto flagellation non merci, je suis pas sado maso. Je suis le premier a pointer les defaillances du recrutement en France, mais de la a traiter le peuple y compris donc ma famille de tous les noms, il y a un monde. Ca fait dix ans que je voyage, et lorsqu' on parle de fierte, d' arrogance, tous les pays rivalisent a qui mieux mieux, c' est comme les individus.
On isole pas un peuple, on le catalogue pas. La derniere fois dans l' histoire que des groupes ont dit que un peuple etait trop fiere, c' etait en parlant du peuple juif, car ils se sentaient mis en peril pas leur montee culturelle/economique.

Aujourd' hui, meme bien sur si il a des defaillances, le peuple francais n' a pas a etre insulte, il n' est pas moins meritant qu' un autre, et a toute sa place dans le monde, au meme titre que les autres. J' ai beaucoup voyage, et je me suis appercu que la fierte caracterise l' etre humain, et n' est pas l' exclusivite de quelques uns. Donc a ce jeu la je ne fais pas de concession, car je suis pas dupe du jeu a se faire reprocher d' etre fiere, qui en effet pourrait reprocher la fierte de l' autre, si ce n' est celui qui se sent mal a l' aise, donc celui qui a sa propre fierte a defendre.
Je veux bien prendre le sujet avec humour, mais malheureusement je suis conscient que si j' utilisais le meme genre d' humour envers une autre nation au sein de ce website, il serait, a juste titre, mal acceuilli.
L' histoire nous a appris que pour vivre en paix, il fallait faire preuve d' un minimum de respect, de politesse envers ceux qui sont differents.

Le present topic est sain, car il pointe les defaillances certaines de l' aviation francaise, mais ce thread ne doit pas devenir le defouloire de ceux qui ont quelque chose contre la nation francaise. Il faut quand meme fixer des limites.
Bien sur il faut relativiser, et prendre ca avec un certain humour. Mais il est hors de propos de cautionner activement une attaque de l' essense meme d'un peuple.

Le recrutement en france est majoritairement a l' issue d' un concours, ou le fait d' avoir etudier math et physique est plus important que la volonte d' etre pilote. S' ajoute a cela le nombre de places tres limites, car le nombre de compagnies en france est lui meme tres limite, et l' aviation generale commerciale quasiment inexistente.
On retrouve donc dans le circuit des jeunes qui se seraient contentes d' une autre carriere si ils avaient pas ete recrutes, et la grande majorite, quand ils echouent aux examens, continuent tout simplement leur etudes et se lancent dans la carriere en accordance avec leur etudes.
Le systeme francais accepte donc des individus pour qui la carriere de pilote est une option interessant, ni plus, ni moins. Une personne qui passe des tests psychotechniques, les tests scolaires, les entretiens qu' il aura prepare prouve seulement qu' il est une bete a concours.
De plus le taux excessivement bas de reussite demontre que c' est plus de la lotterie que du recrutement. Quelque chose qui ressemble etrangement au recrutement de fonctionnaires...
Le systeme meme si il est revu, ne fera pas augmenter le nombre de place disponibles (quelques dizaines par an...).
Il faut realiser que le systeme de recrutement ne permet pas de recruter les plus meritants, les plus devoues a la carriere. Il faut realiser que des milliers de jeunes rellement motives chaque annees sont laisses sur le carreau.
Il vaut mieux informer en aval, mieux diriger, et arreter d' orienter des hordes vers les classes prepas pour devenir pilote, car ils rivalisent avec de simple bete a concours qui ont autant de chance de devenir pilote qu' eux. C' est du n' importe quoi. On fabrique des laureat aux chevilles gonfles qui souvent n'accepteraient pas de voler un caravan en afrique pour monter leur heures.
Le systeme est defaillant.

Capetonian de mes d..x.

Hope you will understand that one. That you do not like the french is your right. This is an aviation forum and your comments about a nation in such ways is beyond anything I have seen anywhere.

Now should we speak about SA and how safe your country is? or just tell me about your achievements and those of the SA nation.

Yes you are perfectly correct in the assesment of some aspects of the French society.
Our strenght, is to admit it. Something way beyond you can comprehend I am afraid.

So when you come to France, Yes drink your SA wine, because the taste of the French wine is something you are not able to appreciate.

Et pour ceux qui se pament devant le systeme anglais, il n'est pas sans faille non plus. (18 ans que je suis dedans) Entre les CDB, OPL (anglais)incapables d'écrire en anglais , je ne parle pas de ceux qui ne savent pas compter. Ceux qui ont passé les examens en apprenant les questions par coeur et qui au final s'y connaissent en aerodynamique comme moi en physique quantique et qui l'appliquent à la hauteur de leur connaissance...D'ailleurs c'est un article de flight International très récent. Ensuite je ne parlerai pas non plus de tous les bénis oui-oui qui jonchent les crew room. "bending the rules" ( faut être contorsioniste) pour se plier aux exigences de la boîte, minimas, FTL, MEL tout y passe. Excusez-moi, on appelle ça du pragmatisme là-bas. Y compris de se taire et d'avaler n'importe quelle couleuvre (Take it or live it, adage du célèbre finnancier Dover, Ben Dover) Ah la belle mentalité. Surtout dès qu'il s'agit de défendre les intérets communs, "part devant je te rejoins".
Mais là où il sont champions c'est de faire croire aux pilotes qu'ils font parti du management, que les pilotes sont les seuls à pouvoir comprendre le management. Sauf que les pilotes ne seront jamais que de simples employés et que quand les choses iront mal, ils seront de l'autre coté de la barrière tant en termes de licenciement que juridique (responsabilité)
Mais eux au moins ils sont quand même moins enculeur de mouche que les Français et ça il faut bien le leur laisser.

Sommes nous moins bon? non. Quelqu'un a fait plus haut une liste des incidents et accidents Français. mais rappelons nous que l'Angleterre souffrait de la même façon dans les annèes 80 et 90 :accidents mortels, BA Manchester, British Midland à East Mids airport, Dan Air a Las palmas (début des annèes 90?).Mais eux ont réagi.

Mais il faut faire notre mea-culpa, et je pense que cela en a pris le chemin.
La question étant posée dans ce forum et dans d'autre semble déjà indiquer que nous ayons pris conscience de certaines choses.

c 'est une analyse assez precise que tu donnes la...
Je dirais que les anglo saxons ont en general un savoir academique legerement en deca de celui des francais. Neanmoins ils sont plus enclins a suivre les regles quitte a prendre moins leur pied en ce qui concerne le pilotage ou la conduite du vol.
Les francais iront plus volontiers tater du manche voire s'aventurer dans des zones considerees par les anglais comme "a risques"...
Je pense que l'esprit un peu plus tete brulee du francais le sert en ce sens qu'il elargit, ds 1 certaine mesure, son champ de competences en allant "sentir les limites". Toutes proportions gardees bien sur.
Le probleme que cela pose, et il peut rapidement devenir de taille, c'est qu'on "oublie" les limites du fait d'un exces de confiance et c'est la porte ouverte a ts les dangers... Alors que l'Anglais ne se sera quasiment jamais expose a une situation qui sort de ce que prescrivent les bouquins...
Je dois dire que l'approche francaise me plait assez tant qu'elle est menee par des professionnels matures qui savent ce qu'ils font, a l'oppose des anglais qui, par exemple, pour un bon nombre de mes collegues, ne cherchent pas trop a se casser la tete et suivent betement (?) ce que disent les bouquins meme si les circonstances auraient exige un peu plus de jugeote....

Ca c' est interessant.

Qu' ont ils fait pour reagir? Quels moyen ont-ils mis en oeuvre?

Je sais que Korean air etait recemment une des plus dangereuse compagnies (90s) et qu' apres un virage a 180 degres sont devenus maintenant une compagnie assez sure.

Je suspecte Capetonian d'etre un autre que celui qu'il dit etre. Car il tape juste a l' endroit ou cela fait mal, et il connait bien l' endroit. Ben ik in de waarheid of nie mijnheer?

On arrive lentement aux points ou je voulais en venir:
Pt 1 : l' acceptance de risques :
Non, KAG, le Concorde ce n' est pas qu' une lamelle de metal perdu par les mechants Americains. C'est aussi une maintenance qui a "oublie" un spacer sur le train gauche et qui a fait devie l'avion vers la gauche durant le decollage, pour aller chercher la lamelle sur le bord de piste.. c'est aussi in decollage en surcharge avec un (leger) vent dans le cul ce qui a augmente la vitesse de roulement , donc temp pneus plus elevee, plus longtemps en frottement , etc..toutes les bonnes conditions pour un eclatement, dont les consequences (possible perforation des reservoirs ) etaient bien connues , Mais est-ce que les REX Conc fonctionnaient bein a cette epoque ? Est-ce que les pilotes de ce vol savaient les consequences de ce qu' ils acceptaient ( surcharge + vent dans le cul ?) Juste un exemple.
J' aurais pu prendre le F100 de Pau. meme logique. meme effets. Pourtant pas AF.

Pt 2 : se remettere en cause
Ton exemple de KAL est bon. Je prendrais un plus pres que je connais mieux : KLM ou plutot la mentalite Holandaise, tres similaire a la francaise : pas Mermoz et St ex , mais Fokker et " De Fliegende Hollander ".
Dans les annes 70 et 80, des crashs a repetition, pratiquement tous dus a de la surconfidence de pilotes souvent tres experimentes, ( le KLM 747 de Teneriffe, le Martinair DC10 de Faro, ou le DC 8 de Colombo, en passant par le F28 de NLM a Moerdijk ( lui par contre pas tres experimente ), et autres babioles incluant meme un DC3 en vol touristique .

Dans chaque cas, quelqu'un a ose dire basta, on vire et on appelle quelqu'un de l' exterieur. Delta en Coree si ma memoire est bonne et des Anglais a la KLM. Depuis : rien. Va faire un tour dans un cockpit KLM ( ou Lufthansa ou BAW ) aujourd'hui pour comprendre leur points forts.

Pt 3 : le monopole .

Les Anglais ne sont pas parfaits , loin de la, je connaissait bien Dan Air a l' epoque. Mais il y avait aussi Brittania, ou Monarch. Du tres bon aussi. La loi de Darwin a joue .En Angleterre (comme preque partout ailleurs) il n' y a pas de monopole.
En France aujourd'hui , c'est ou le GAF, ou tu travailles pour eux directement (Britair, Regional) ou bien tu te fait tout petit en esperant des miettes en restant bien dans ta niche ( e.g Air Caraibes, Star, Corsair, etc..) Dons si tu veux continuer a bosser tu ne fait pas de vagues contre le monopole.

Il ya d' autre points , mais ce sera pour une autre fois, il faut que je bosse un peu maintenant !

Il faut voler avec plusieurs nationalités pour en voir les particularités.
En général, ( population d'environ 200/250 individus mini dans chaque échantillon).

Anglais .....vont suivre les Sop's jusqu'au crash; mais feront un rapport complet, seront nommés pilot of the Year et virés comme des malproprres lorsque la pression médiatique sera retombée. Ils pourront se torcher à 18h00 au pub sans soucis ( non pas que cela les empêchent de quoi que ce soit avant). Connaissances générales moyennes; mais des titres de diplômes ronflants.

Allemands / Hollandais; si les premiers sont moins sales que les seconds et font moins de dégats dans un poste; Ils suivront les procédures jusqu'au sol; mais étant de bon maneuvriers, ils évitent les crashs, (même si cela passe parfois assez prés), si deux allemands dans le poste...-->pas de rapports on règle à la bière. Connaissances bien meilleures que les anglais; le niveau 4 OACI est empreint d'un fort accent..

Italiens/Espagnols... LEs essais en vol sont toujours d'actualité; de plus l'ATC est complice; donc on teste; décollage sans volets; lachers d'oiseaux en finale; limitations de vent de travers par aéroport tellement le niveau de pilotage est remarquable (LIRA). Phraséo hasardeuse et procédures abscones; l'avantage; peu d'hippodromes et autres entrées parrallèles le désanvantage; il faut parler Italien et Espagnol pour voler. surtout la nuit à 3 h du mat, où TOUT est possible SOPs ???? no comment..

Les français; nous sommes au confluent de ces cultures , melting pot d'idées et de formations. Nous avons gardé un libre arbitre, (frondeurs ?) ; qui permet de gérer des situations moins usuelles (parfois avec des hiatus notables); mais le changement de QDM en station travers, ou une variation spirale pour l'alignement à distance constante sans DME; on sait faire. Ce qui rend parfois les collègues un peu stressés ( ou est passé le FMS ?); Le CRM est parfois limite, et le gradient d'autorité fort. Les procédures qui n'ont pas trop de sens ne sont pas adhérées et donc violées; la transmission du savoir oral existe toujours, et un pilote passe 10 ans à droite avant de glisser à gauche. Le savoir livresque existe pour les OPC/LPC/LC mais le reste du temps c'est la vraie tradition de l'aviation.

C'est un peu court, et je dois jouer avec des playmobils parait il.. Il y a un terminal d'aéroport, un Quadri réacteur et un hélicoptère des secours...

Chacun aura sa vision, son vécu... en réalité tout le monde peut merder, c'est une question de temps. .. Même Spock a merdé quand il était jeune...

It is quite interesting how my response to the question :
"les Francais sont-ils moins bons que les autres ?"

which was
The French have a couple of pretty fundamental flaws in their approach to life in general, and this is reflected in the way the country and its public and private enterprises operate.

Firstly there is the credo that most French people follow, that French is best, and that nobody else has a clue. Therefore they will not listen.

Secondly there is the 'blame' culture whereby somebody else always has to be blamed for failings, and there is never a place where the buck stops, there is never anyone who will accept that he screwed up and now has to accept the blame and put things right.
has become taken and escalated to the realms of hate speech by some of you. The question, to me at least, invited an answer. I gave an answer, which was clearly not the one you wanted or expected, and you have now accused me 'hating the French and their culture'. Ironically though it seems that to some of you the zenith of French culture is Johnny Halliday and Charles Aznavour. Please guys, do yourselves a favour, and take a long hard look at the absolute rubbish that some of you have written here. France has produced writers, philosophers, musicians, and scientists of note, even if one discounts those whom you have claimed as French when they weren't, and yet the best you can come out with are Aznavour and Halliday. How sad is that?

The point that emerges to me is that you do consider yourselves to be superior to everyone else and you hate it when someone who is not French points out that you are not.

The title topic was about the French, not France, so comparisons of the security situation in SA and that in France are irrelevant, and were dragged up by someone who calls himself KAG (KAK?) . Yes South Africa does have a security problem and nobody denies that, but then many of the 'banlieues' of France's large towns are no safer than some of SA's townships.

I remind you again we are talking about the culture of a nation, not about the country itself.
