This is your opinion, not a fact.

Because a lot of Germans prefer to speak German rather than English. Same applies in France, Spain, Italy, etc...

Non-UK pilots MUST learn another language (English) just to be able to STUDY anything aviation-related. If you really want to work in Germany you only have to learn German.
Anyway, do you really think BA is going to hire a level 4?
