Well done, Loulou, Priscilla and Spodman. Loc-out is another typical example of narrow-mindedness...
It is time to open your eyes, Loc-out....
Although English is the aviation language, it has also been agreed that other languages could be used (such as French and others...). The French are not the only ones to use their own language for ATC communications, but obviously, they are an easy target...
Let's pretend, for one second, that here in the UK, we would have to be speaking, let's say, Russian, to fly and communicate with ATC... ah ah!!!
Most French controllers can speak English (even in provincial towns!!)... Look at all the Ryanair flights to small places like Rodez (where you only have E airspace) where they never have international traffic: I am sure the controllers do speak English...
The irony is that even "some english speakers do not understand English-speaking ATC because they speak too fast and it is not pronounced properly"... quoted by a friend who is an English tutor (obviously specialised in tyhe English language) and who flies regularly. He flew to France a couple of times and always says that the English of the French controllers was crystal clear and totally readable
....Where is the mistake?
Loc-out, You are the weakest link, goodbye...
