Air France Jump Seat

[el gringo]

Can a US airline pilot jump seat on Air France? Let's say from MIA-CDG-MIA.
Thanks for the responce.

No, a U.S. pilot can not do that.

 

[el gringo]

Thanks for the reply. Didn't think so either.

If you have a nonrev ticket, and the flight is full, the capt might let you on. I've done that on Lufthansa and KLM... full flights, but they let me on with a nonrev ID-90

I am not even sure the Cpt will let you on the jump seat with a non rev ticket, but you can try. The problem is that the flights are always full out of MIA to CDG and chances are...you won't be the only non rev around. Good luck to you, and if you have any more question about AF, shoot, I'm a French AF driver.

OK, I'll bite... I heard AF pilots have in their contract that they are allowed "1 glass of wine with dinner". True or false?

I've also read the average american uses 200 bars of soap a year, yet the average frenchman only uses 5. ( I think I know the answer to this one.)

I figured as much. My family nonreved without me as I could not get away this summer. Imagine sending your family to the old country and not being able to go. Thanks for the reply. El Gringo AAL/MIA/A300

NO, AF pilots cannot have 1 glass of wine with dinner. We have the same 8 hours bottle to throttle rule you guys have. But years ago, they could.
Freightdogfred, I won't answer your stupid soap comment, that would get us started on a France-USA argumentation and I love the US to much to do that.

Hey was just messing with ya.

You live stateside ?

 

[redeye69]

I commute from from ATL to CDG to go to work. How about that!

 

[Flyingdutchman]

Know a Dutchie commuting from Arkansas to Amsterdam (Martinair 747). And know of a american PCL pilot married to a Dutch girl commuting from MSP to Amsterdam... Ouch !!!

Must be a hot wife to put up with a freaking commute like that! (or a rich wife...)

so you are saying that you open a new cake of soap every 1.8 days?? Wow.

I guess I would be closer to the french total of 1 every 2.2 months.

 

[redeye69]

Me two, but I drink a bottle of wine in less than 2 evenings!...and I don't even smell. Big wow.

 

[ILStoMinimums]

What is the pay like at AF? Must be pretty good.

 

[Flyingdutchman]

Little less then KLM. Good thing about the french is that they have about 4234324342 unions to fight for them ("fight".... )

KLM after 15 years is about 230.000 Euro's (1 euro = 1.38 USD)
