Two Air France pilots have been suspended for a physical altercation in June

The pilots of an Air France jet reportedly grabbed each other by the collars after one was hit in the cockpit of a flight earlier this year.

The violent affair took place after takeoff on a flight from Geneva to Paris.

It’s understood several flight attendants had to get involved, and one crew member was forced to stay with the pilots for the rest of the flight.

The ordeal was part of an internal investigation about the overall culture at the French airline. It found pilots lack rigour when it comes to respecting safety policies.

The report follows several similar cases between 2017 and 2022, where pilots reportedly acted personally rather than following on-board safety procedures.

The French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety—the nation’s air investigation agency—also uncovered the details of another flight, which experienced flight control problems.

The aircraft was landing in Paris at the time, but the pilots “simultaneously made inputs on the controls” during a go-around for a second attempt.

The report found the mid-flight brawl did not impact the rest of the flight, as the aircraft made a safe landing back home.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
