Two Air France pilots were suspended after physically fighting in the cockpit on a Geneva-Paris flight in June, an Air France official said Sunday. The flight continued and landed safely, and the dispute didn’t affect the rest of the flight, the official said, stressing the airline’s commitment to safety.
French newspaper La Tribune reported that the pilot and co-pilot had a dispute shortly after takeoff, and grabbed each other by their collars after one apparently hit the other. Cabin crew intervened and one crew member spent the flight in the cockpit with the pilots, the report said.
In-flight announcement in English on Air France: *ding* "Pardon, madames et messieurs, but the pilots, they are, how do you say, duking it out in the cockpit."

Did the airline cover the passengers' underwear cleaning bills?

My parents flew from Honolulu to Tahiti on Air France once. They said about an hour out of Honolulu two stewardess carrying bottles of champagne went into the cockpit and locked the door. They came back out a little before the landing in Tahiti.
Take a chance, fly Air France!
