But usually, the first english communications to an spanish pilot get lost and I have to say again over and over.
Why is that though? Isnt´t that something that could be taken care off with a bit of goodwill and training? Take Germany for example, where you can depart from a german airport in a german-registered aircraft and with the entire crew being german, fly in german airspace all the time, land at another german airport, talk to native german controllers during the entire flight, and yet chances are you will not have heard a single german word on the frequency.

Why is that possible here, but not elsewhere? I´m not trying to pick a fight or display a "holier-than-thou" attitude, I´m just trying to understand what exactly the problem is.
