Holy cats! I presume Icelandic Air was picking up the tab?

Jay H,

Near as I could figure out, it was a program similar to Lufthansa or SAS
where they recruit them, screen them heavily then ship the "best of the
best" to the desert SW where they do basically nothing but fly, fly, fly and
fly.

Lufthansa even bough their own airport at Mobile, AZ to accomodate their
intensive schedule.

Lately, it's begining to sound like I'm not flying in the US anymore with
all the foreign accents on the radio. Pretty good english spoken by all but
the Chinese...they're brutal and can tie up the freq pretty well trying to
make themselves understood to ATC.

Regards,

Jay B
