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.

Ah yes...the glory days at PanAm. I joined PanAm toward the end of those great times. The PanAm ticket office in any city served as a quasi-embassy for those requiring assistance while traveling. It was a real privelage for an African ruler to have his daughter serve as a PanAm "stewardess". A PanAm I.D. card would get you anything that you needed anywhere in the world. Great Days!! Flying at PanAm was a life style, not just stick and rudder flying. Bob Moore PanAm 1967-1991 (retired)
