I know some non french pilots at AT too. But are fluently bilingual. Never said it was impossible, just not easy. As far as the language police go, they do act very much like those WWII (nazi) guys. They have input into anything regarding language. Sorry, that's the best way I can describe them. Sorry if it offends someone in the Quebec government. It has nothing to do with AT. You're not trying to tell me how to be politically correct are you?
I understand your new contract is quite good. Some of my info regarding the old contract came from long-time pilots at AT, so I guess things have changed recently. Good to see.
