Need of a Scandinavian language?

Hi there all,

I have recently had a reply from Wideroe airline in Norway asking me for more details such as pictures of my pretty face(Whats that all about??)and one of the requirements being to SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND a Scandinavian language.

Now I start to understand why i never get any answers from countries like Spain,Italy ,Portugal....maybe they couldnt even understand my cover letter in English....

But Scandinavians..I have a high esteem for them...they speak english since they are 6 years all and pretty well too.

Cant English be the language once and for all???Couldnt I communicate to ATC in English even if im flying a Widereo Aircraft???

Is one having to know each EU language the new way to protectionnism???At least Air Fance says it loud and clear:WE DONT ACCEPT ANYTHING ELSE than a DGAC CPL/IR...

Comments welcomed,
