Here's an (arguably) better article about the rise and fall of Joon: Air France Looks to Shut Down Millennial Experiment Joon

I've never really understood what the point of Joon was. Is it a LCC?

I assumed that AF created Joon to employ cheaper cabin staff, but then the unions got involved and I believe Joon staff are now earning more or less the same as their Air France counterparts. So that was a bit of a fail.
 
Not wild about the journalist's grammar...

Why do you think a journalist has even seen the article? It would have been spewed out by a computer program and dumped on a website without human intervention or checking.
 
I would image you're thinking of Transavia there... and I have flown them twice and found them really good. Perhaps Joon was meant to be a cross between the two, a sort of Virgin Australia ;)

No, I'm familiar with Transavia. I know exactly what they are - a LCC. Joon, on the other hand, didn't seem to be either a LCC or a full-service carrier. That was probably part of the problem.

IMHO it's better when an airline picks one and does it well. Whether that's what VA is doing is... debatable. ;)

Silly me thought I saw the name of a journalist attached to the story. Seems like I have to get out a bit more...

Even if it happened as you describe, some human input would seem to be required.

That’s my take on it. I think the idea was to produce an airline based on the modern ‘hipster’ service model, and to attract customers with the buzz-centred approach that taps into the FOMO attraction.
Ultimately it just looked like a Disney ride. But I give them credit for trying something different.
