Other airlines that have FIM'd me in similar situations include, BA, TK, DL, AA, UA, SN, KL, CX and several others. AF IS the absolute worst in this department, the worst, I once had to fight AF for THREE HOURS at CDG to get a FIM through a real csspool of a city in order to get somewhere that day when the reason I was NOT on my original fault was 100% their fault. Without going into more examples, AF is the absolute worst regarding irregular ops as well as any form of compensation or even compassion for their customers. While the above incident could occur on any carrier, AF is the worst in dealing with it.

hfly, sadly, I fly enough to know that this thing does indeed happen. I'm happy for those who have been re-rerouted on competitor airlines. As we see on FT everyday, YMMV. Unfortunately, I must have flown on bad days because I was left to sit in **** and sort myself out

Regarding the topic as a whole, the OP is entitled to his opinion and certainly free to voice his opinion with his wallet? Will Air France notice? Probably not. Every flight I've been on in the past 6 months (6 so far) has been completely booked in Y, J and F.
