AIR FRANCE AD: FLYING BADLY
The Thrills Are Free

NEAR MISS PILOT 'SHOWING OFF TO BOY IN COCKPIT'
People Blessed Themselves And Prayed Aloud, While Children Cried
As An Air France Flight Lurched Through The Sky.

May 7, 2008 (Telegraph) - Passengers at the front of the plane claimed that they saw one of the cabin crew escorting the French boy, aged about 13, in to see the pilot.

Soon afterwards the aircraft banked sharply to the left, then pitched to the right.

After the boy returned to his seat, alarms could be heard in the cockpit and the plane suddenly climbed steeply, the passengers allege.

Shaun Robinson, 40, from Rossendale, said the Airbus A320, carrying 143 passengers, had "rocked and rolled" like a fairground ride.

Suddenly the pilot made a sharp turn to the left, without warning, and then back again, obviously showing the young French boy how he flew his plane. Gasps could be heard throughout the rest of the cabin.

Moments later, the pilot threw his plane into a steep climb. We could hear alarms sounding. The two crew members sitting in front of me had terror written across their faces and were gripping their chairs.

Air France is the national carrier for France. Epitomizing the French character, it is for many visitors the first introduction to the French experience.
