Why I don't trust the french

To express my views on the situation.

I don’t know if French authorities are that much worse then any other country. I haven’t seen anything in this tread to come to a different conclusion. So why post this statement? I mean what is your aim with this post, to let us think the same about this or ……………?????

and especially those French Car builders…

You weren’t complaining about them when I gave you a lift back from the EDI meet in my 206. 😀 :rolleyes: :p

Aw bless

Sandy drives a 406… 😉

Hey, I love my Peugeot 406.
Best car I’ve driven!

and especially those French Car builders…

What’s the story behind this ? 🙂

Sandy, I have tremendous respect for you. I consider you one of the top 2 or 3 contributors to this forum. However, I have tremendous respect for Hand, as well, and I did think your initial thread title was quasi-French bashing. One thing I admire about this forum is the relative absense of nationality/ethnic bashing. I can’t say the same for the general discussion forum, that’s for sure. That being said, I can tolerate the occassional ‘bloody yankee’ bashing said with tongue in cheek just like the next guy. On the other hand, you have every right to be critical of French aviation officials, but not the French people, at large .

Thank you, may I just say… I have nothing what-so-ever against the french people at large. I do apologise if it sounded like I had.

I have many international friends, some of them being french. Infact, I work alongside a frenchman. He’s the funniest guy I’ve ever worked with and a real pleasure to be around.

Its just those frenchmen/women in suites that covered up all that sh!t I note above that I don’t trust.

It’s ok folks, Sandy is a true internationalist (except when it comes to Glasgow people) :p

I think what you’re complaining about Sandy as we’ve often figured, is the nationless, souless curse of the men in suits ?

It happens around the world in all fields of industry, commerce and politics. I agree with you that there is a sufficient aroma of rodents concerning the Airbus and Concorde disasters to warrant secondary and unbiased investigations. Where those might come from though is anyone’s guess ?

😉 there ya see. Its amazing how one word (or lack there of) can cause so much confusion and ultimately argument

I do not know why the title is so, I had typed :
“Why I don’t trust the french Authorities”

for some reason, “Authorities” didn;t get through… perhaps an inadvertent strike of the tab key, who knows.
I didn’t see the error in the title untill I had posted, by then it was too late.

If you intent to write :
Why I don’t trust the french Authorities

I can’t agree more ….. 😉

To correct you the leg room is nothing to do with Airbus or Boeing. The airlines choose what config the cabin is set out at.

I must concur here. The seating arrangments is absolutely nothing to do with the manufacturer.

I’d take caution here. It’s not that you can’t believe what you read, but this is hardly an official source, and it doesn’t take much to decifer that whoever wrote this account had an agenda. In addition if the thrust behind the post was

“I do not trust the Authorities in the French aviation business. Nothing more nothing less.”

then I question why you titled the thread’

“Why I don’t trust the french”
