The incident occurred in June, an Air France official said on Sunday. However, the incident has brought Air France pilots under scrutiny and has prompted French investigators to call for tougher safety protocols. News of the fight emerged after France's air investigation agency, BEA, issued a report Wednesday saying that some Air France pilots lack rigor in respecting procedures during safety incidents. Air France pilots' unions have insisted that security is paramount to all pilots and defended pilot actions during emergency situations. The BEA also investigated an incident in April involving an Air France flight from New York's JFK airport that suffered flight control problems on approach to its landing in Paris.
