I would not rate AF as unsafe but you are in the "business" and you would know more than the lay persons like me.
Even to lay people like me, anyone can have an accident or be caught out by the unexpected - BA were fortunate the 777 landed relatively softly inside the LHR fence. Hopefully it remains an isolated incident.
When you have a cluster of incidents someone needs to start asking questions which, as
Jumbodriver points out, is happening with AF - it's not yet a disaster, but none of use want them to continue at the present rate.
When you lose on average an aircraft every two years for 30 years as Korean did, passengers should simply run away. Thankfully that mess seems to be finally under control, though I refused to use them in the 90's.
