DH into CDG
Has anyone deadheaded into CDG within the past week since France began the new requirement to have a COVID test within 3 days of arrival? Hopefully, there will be a crew exemption but the company hasn't stated that one exists yet.

Deadheaded to CDG a few days ago. Arrived with a handful of other crew members on the same flight. If you had test results in hand they took a cursory look at your results and waved you through. Otherwise, you were given a rapid test which took about 10 minutes and you were on your way.

Yes. I had the quick test results ( I live in Mempho) from the company though and had to show it. It was also checked in France. You could have any piece of paper that said negative somewhere on it from how close they looked at it.

Six of us arrived on the same flight last Wednesday, no one had test results. A couple of us decided to put on our IDs and head for the crew line. We were waved through. We did have the paperwork filled out and the cargo box checked. Once the first couple went through, the agent went into the crowd and called all FedEx pilots forward. That was it, no testing.
It was a pain to get checked in in ATL though. Having the company test would've made that easier, but eventually got it sorted out.
