When things “go south”, I’d probably want somebody who can speak English too.
Who said they can’t? Well explain to me Air France 447, Turkish 1951 and many others! To be clear, I’m not targeting MPL specifically;I’m just tired of people denying the facts that many pilots can’t fly anymore. How many more accidents do you need?? By the way even Airbus urges their pilots to hand fly during line operations.
And for my english, yes sorry I do make mistakes, my mother language is french. Pardonnez-moi monsieur. xD
