We, at PanAm, didn't have all that much of a problem.


I'd be willing to bet that in the glory days of PanAm, many countries made
damn sure their best english speaker was on duty when you guys were
scheduled in. Hell, when I was in the mid-east in the AF, hundreds of
people from surrounding villages used to come to the airport 3 days a week
just to watch your 707 come and go.
