I also was treated to that table in the back while in uniform (U.S.Marine), I think that was their cocktail area. Several years later I would be working on the T-56 Allison Engines -9.-11,-13. Great engines
You are right as I had found out decades ago that it was better to go out of my way to find flights on other airlines than fly on Air France due to the rudeness of the French air crews toward Americans.
Great ,Maybe the next airline out of Korea will be owned by a more responsible group that are interested in operating a better product in staid of the nations number one "Family of Squabbles".
Incidences like this will continue to happen in areas where a lot of the pilots get their jobs via the way of being from a "known" family.In many of the areas test are taken by others that are paid by the family while the future pilot is "Flying" his PARKER PIN.
This idiot worked for me at AA and had to be assigned to small tasks as he showed little or no knowledge of aircraft maintenance. This is one of the thing that is wrong with our FAA testing as it shows that anyone can pass a test as opposed to the more difficult CAA testing in Japan and The UK.
Kind of like the US Nave and USAF getting caught with their pants down in the beginning of the Vietnam war by not installing machine guns on many of their fighter aircraft.
Sounds like a line from the movie" Pork Chop Hill" (depicting the last days of The Korean War and the beginning of the Atomic Era) when the lieutenant told his troops "You may be the last soldiers to ever expect to be in a bayonet charge".
A lot of my UK friends worked for BA in the 1980s and 1990s and BA had the reputation of treating their employees as scu,.From baggage and ticket counter people to their most senior pilots.
