...and I suspect that you share the characteristic of not being that bothered with the name of the airline you fly with 99.9999% of other passengers.

It would be a shame, because I feel they have greatly improved their service offering in Economy. Par contre, I find European Business really poor. My flights to and from Moscow had school canteen dinner meals (but I probably already whinged about that somewhere else here).

Maybe all the European AF flights will adopt the Joon model: free tea/coffee/juice/water and pay for everything else? So: they may get rid of the Joon brand, but keep its downgraded service concept.
It will be intersting to see if AC is used as a template. Interestingly enough, AC does offer free meals/snacks on domestic flights when connecting to/from international. I flew Montreal to Paris with AC last year and the food was so poor I swore I would never fly AC again. Breakfast consisted of a piece of banana bread. Vile.

Seats were reassigned weirdly, breaking down groups and families.
3 days before it was still the JOON crew/plane.

You got lucky! Flew CDG-CPT today and it was Joon. We did get our originally booked seats which was good... although seat pitch was terrible. I am only 5’1” (long torso, short legs) so I never complain about seat pitch but it was a tough ride for both me and my 6’2” husband!

Will mainline AF take over all the routes? I am booking a trip to LIS on Delta for February. The Delta site still says Joon.
It is a short flight, so don't really care what plane. But would hate to find out after booking that they cancel the flight and replace it with a much later one, or an earlier one that prevents my already close 1:35 connection.
