Was pilot on doomed Air France jet with female off-duty flight attendant?

How sick, mean, malicious can you get? Are there any depths left to plumb? What sort of pleasure do you get from causing the families even more heartache and misery? Empty Cruise has it almost right when (s)he says;

Daily Wail - move to JB, please...

This appalling thread does not need to be moved, it needs to be closed. - Please Mods.

I find it astonishing that someone would even consider bringing this theory up.

It is fairly common for accident investigations to look at the activities of the accident pilots over the DAYS before an accident to look at how tier actions and activities may have affected their physiological and mental states.

You might think this is

Utterly shameful reporting considering the slandered party cannot defend himself.

So what does it say when

This "info" is not new and was briefly discussed in French pilots forums very soon after the accident

DX Wombat,
I agree so much with you - this disgusting thread should be closed!
There should IMO be no space available on pprune for spreading this kind of outrageous gossip.

this disgusting thread should be closed!

I disagree. Disgusting as it is, people should be allowed to express their views, there are plenty of others ready to shoot them down. I don't see any value in closing the thread, as the 'information' to which it refers to is now in the public domain.

Thought experiment: if one replaces the "off-duty flight attendant" with "wife," does it matter to the conduct of the flight?

Captain got recalled to cockpit, got back to cockpit, and was too late to fix the problem his two compadres induced.

Who he may have been having a chat with during the beginning of his rest period seems at best irrelevant.

Red Arrows.

Reference the Daily Mail and Littlejohn, have you TURIN got particular knowledge that would suggest he is incorrect, Do you know why the female pilot is no longer part of the Red Arrows flying team, do you have information as to how/why an aircraft crashed whilst doing a 'fly-by'. do you have information as to why an ejection seat was operated whilst the aircraft was on the ground? I would suggest that you are as informed as the rest of us are, ie. their has been no information at all from the government of the day about the accidents involving the tax payers airline, and therefore you know nothing either. Littlejohn may have contacts and be better informed, but the whole system stinks when we have to speculate on accidents, with nothing forthcoming from the MOD. Chug-a-lug.

I am deeply shocked and horrified - nay, all but traumatised - by the inference that a pilot may have been "with a woman" on his aeroplane. Has society fallen to such a low that women are actually permitted on aircraft, or was this appalling lapse achieved by subterfuge? How can such a thing be allowed, but the real shocker for me is the gross dereliction of professionalism in that a pilot may have allowed himself to be in proximity to one in flight. Have pilots too fallen to such depths of depravity that they would allow themselves to be near a woman on board an aeroplane, of all places?
I'd never have believed this, particularly of a Frenchman.
What is the world coming to?
