The problem is, and always has been, within Europe, that to work in the UK, and aviation in general, you need English
For a Brit to work elsewhere, he/she needs the local language.
So.....................
Non-brit european needs to learn one language he/she was not taught from birth.
Brit.....................learn 24 more..
Arkroyal... Were those beers right ?
From your assessment of the situation, I would say:
Brits need to learn F*** all as they allready know English
Europeans, need to learn at least one foreign language: English.
Maybe you Brits need also to learn Maths
