7777, it's more than a good though, it's a fact. And you (and a couple of others here) have been pretty good at waving the "dual-language freqs are safe.....blah, blah, blah!" flag. There have been some good arguments/points from both pilots and controllers as to why they don't think its a good idea
Answer me this. WHY? Why do it? What operational benefit is there? Let's here some arguments. We've done our side, you do yours. If it simply is "because we can", or "Cause ICAO says we can" that's pretty lame.
And I have been thinking about your "complacency". What a load of cr@p. In fact, complacency would be more of an issue with 2 languages being used. Pilot thinks "Oh, ATC are wittering on again in French, that's not for me". Meanwhile, said "wittering" is avoiding action being given to opposite direction traffic to the guy. If you hear "Avoiding Action" or "Turn now" in the one standardised language, everybody is going to pay attention.
