Yes, it would be great if Canada could adopt the Swiss mentality. I know three of the four Swiss languages you speak of. Unfortunately, in this country, adopting just two languages hasn't worked very well. I never said AT hires french pilots ONLY. I still maintain that AT PREFERS french over english. I have heard some of your pilots on the radio and believe me, they know just enough english to almost communicate with atc. I have heard better english from Air France pilots. I'm not too sure of the numbers, but if out of 300 pilots, you have ten or twelve english ones, you have a long way to go. Nothing wrong with that I guess(?).
