AF pilot has to "dodge" while "showing off" to child? Sacre bleu!

Passenger jet makes terrifying 10,000ft climb to dodge another plane because pilot was 'showing off' to a child

Terrified passengers claim their plane had to dodge another jet by suddenly climbing 10,000ft because their pilot was "showing off" to a boy in the cockpit.

The pilot of the flight to Paris suddenly pitched left at 33,000ft and the crew allegedly announced the Airbus A320, with 143 passengers, had got "too close" to another plane.

Taking passengers into the cockpit is contrary to aviation rules brought in after the September 11 terror attacks.
