You know when i moved into this country, i did realize how sensitive was the language issue. I lived in Switzerland and with four official languages, i never felt so much tension compared to Canada. ( Why don't they teach both languages in every school throughout Canada?)
I have lived in different parts of Canada and I enjoyed the time i spent.

I beg to differ on the fact that they only hire pilots who speak french. Language of aviation is English, isn't it? So they have no choice than hiring people who are able to speak english,right?

If their requirements are they want candidates to be bilingual, let's be it. But, on the other hand, i would encourage people who are unilingual to apply as well, since you never know until you get a straight answer from a recruiter itself who'll tell them if they are suitable for the job or not.

Good luck to everyone who applies and in the hope that some will be happy to fly.
