If they think about people not buying anything I am happy to offer them a list of longhaul flights that I have taken on other carriers simply because they don’t impose on me when i can or cannot do some productive work (or go online for pleasure, such as this site). I still go on the AF flights when scheduling leaves no other choice or the alternative is horrible (fly on UA, no thanks), and it’s always pleasant to fly with them, but the stress before and after to deal with what will possibly be happening or what’s been happening in the 8-9 hours of flight is a major pain, as is the feeling of time lost on board. Which is back to the old AF philosophy, they think more about being pleasant to fly with than about being pleasant *and* practical to fly with.
