I WAS RECENTLY ON AN AIR FRANCE FLT FROM PARIS TO VENICE. THE PASSENGER BEHIND ME KEPT KICKING AND KICKING THE BACK OF MY RECLINED SEAT. I GUESS BECAUSE HIS LENGS WERE TOO LONG!! I CALLED A MALE CABIN CREW(FRENCH) TO TELL THE PASSENGER BEHIND ME TO STOP IT AT ONCE. IF I HAD DONE WHAT A NORMAL PERSON WOULD HAVE DONE IE GOT UP AND PUNCHED THE CRAP OUT OF HIM, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DETAINED AND MY HOLIDAY RUINED. THERE ARE ARSEHOLES ALL OVER THE WORLD YES BUT NONE MORE THAN THIS PASSENGER BEHIND ME. I WISH HIM LIFESTYLE SUCCESS AND MAY GOD BLESS HIM IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY.
Has anynone discussed this A/D yet?

Waiting for the FDR
First, I don't think any professional Pilot would knowingly fly into a Thunderstorm- maybe too close, or one in a Radar Shadow of another buildup. I always told my F/O's not to request deviation, tell them we are deviating and where and how far. It seems pretty likely that on this flight and AF, no matter how it happened, they got into a high speed upset. I can't help but wonder how the 'Bus's G Limiting might affect recovery from the upset? Thee more they make the airplane do for you, the bigger the problem becomes when it doesn't do it!
as a colleague we also concern what was real went wrong and still waiting for the result they will announce the investigation after.I wished the mate co support all out with all respect.The commander was former fighter pilot for 10 years in F5 tiger in his time and we had used to work together in company flew Fokker 27 in early 90's.
Does anyone besides me think that somebody should have picked up a "ping" by now? Hopefully the FDR and CVR will shed some light on this tragedy....if it can be located. Prayers to their families.
