Took this guy more than a minute to get to the flight deck after frantic
calls for help were received.
No doubt to a frenchman, finishing the blow job is much more important
than the lives of 100's of innocent passengers.
Airbus - If the shitty made in China aircraft don't kill you, then the
drunk, womanizing french pilot will.

Was Air France Captain With a Woman When Flight 447 Was in Trouble?
In the final chaotic moments before Air France flight 447 crashed into
the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, it took the captain of the aircraft, who was
on a scheduled break, more than a minute to return to the cockpit,
despite his two co-pilots' frantic calls for help, black box recordings
showed.
Although it was never revealed what delayed Capt. Marc Dubois, two
independent sources told ABC News that the 58-year-old veteran Air
France pilot was traveling socially with an off-duty Air France flight
attendant named Veronique Gaignard.
Jean-Paul Troadec, the director of BEA, the French authority conducting
the investigation into the Flight 447 crash, told ABC News that Gaignard
was not part of their investigation because the agency was "not
interested" in the "private life of the pilot." Troadec added that he
did not think Dubois's alleged relations with Gaignard aboard the plane
would have played a role in the accident.
Air France 447 was on an overnight trip from Rio de Janiero to Paris on
May 31, 2009 when it vanished. The plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean
in the early morning hours of June 1, 2009.
Black box tapes recovered from the wreckage two years later, in April
2011, revealed that Capt. Dubois left the cockpit for a scheduled nap
about four hours into the flight, around the same time Flight 447 was
about to enter a severe thunderstorm which other flights had avoided.
Once in the storm, the plane's pitot tube, a critical piece of equipment
that tells the pilot the aircraft's air speed, failed, likely from ice
crystals forming on it, according to BEA officials who inspected the
wreckage. When the pitot tube fails, the Airbus A330's automatic pilot
system disengages, shifting control back to the pilot.
According to the tapes, First Officer Cedric Bonin, a 32-year-old pilot
who had fewer than 5,000 flight hours under his belt, was at the
controls but had never been in this situation before at high altitude.
Bonin made the fatal mistake of pulling the plane's nose up, which
caused it to go into a deep stall.
Within seconds, the plane was plummeting about 120 miles an hour in the
dark, belly first, with the nose slightly elevated.
"It seems that the pilots did not understand the situation and they were
not aware that they had stalled," Troadec said.
The co-pilots asked where the captain was and called for help several
times before Dubois returned to the cockpit, the black box tapes showed.
When Dubois burst in, he found a scene of utter confusion.
"What's happening?" Dubois was heard saying on the black box recordings.
"I don't know what's happening," one of the co-pilots replied.
"I have a problem…I have no more displays," Dubois said.
They never regained control of the plane, and in the confusion, co-pilot
Cedric Bonin thought his instruments were wrong. He was so befuddled
that he was heard asking, "Am I going down now?"
All 228 passengers and crew aboard Air France flight 447 were killed.
BEA will release its final report on the investigation into the crash on
July 5. Air France declined ABC News' request for an interview, pending
the July release of the final report from France's investigation.
