Default When Airline Pilots WON'T speak ENGLISH!!!

Shirl wrote in
Thank you. We thought it was only here in AZ, where a lot of aspiring
airline pilots come to put in time since there are so many
good-weather flying days here. Nothing worse than being in the pattern
at an uncontrolled airport and hearing, "FDVHUdscr Trafffick, Cessna
^%#s9, &&VSs, Gobbledegoop 1 mile, VFSDGXCxss, FDVHUdscr Traffick."

Huh? 1 mile WHERE? How do these people pass the oral exam? Do they
understand US? Do they care?

You ought to hear some US pilots abroad.....


I'm sure that's true, and US pilots abroad should be able to communicate
clearly in languages spoken there, too. But I don't think many US pilots
travel abroad specifically to learn to fly or to build hours. I just
figure if they're here specifically for that, speaking FLUENT, clear and
*understandable* ENGLISH would be a pre-requisite ... but apparently not!
