Well...the number of takers for an XXX-CDG-AMS and v.v. routing at those prices isn't going to be all that high, I would imagine. If you have enough time to squander on an otherwise unnecessary connection in CDG (in both directions if on a return ticket) and the meagre 25% saving appears worth it, or one just needs the cheapest available routing with all other considerations being moot, then fine. But given that such routings will require Promo space on both the XXX-CDG and CDG-AMS legs, and the number of promo awards is in general limited, I don't think that it's quite a case of AF "flooding" the market with a promo offer that will "undermine" KLM's inbound (why not outbound? it works both ways) flights.
