The comments made above were not particularly AF-related but related to the overall league table and pointing out to various 'oddities' such as LH ranked as no2 in Europe which is crazy or BA's WT+ seat ranked 7th best in the world which would probably only be true if only six other airlines offered that particular cabin. I'm assuming that despite your comment above you are not suggesting that AF is comparable to FR or that would remind me of an article published in the Monde Diplomatique (I think) about 15 years ago which made the exciting argument that the US was probably less democratic than Cuba after all . AF is not a very good airline, but that doesn't suffice to validate the rest of the rankings.
