I had the chance to live in YYZ ( that i miss) and also in YVR. And i never felt uncomfortable because of my "accent" when i speak english.

In a way, i can understand that they are "scared" to loose their language.But since the laws are under the Napoleon code and not the common law, they still kept some french models ( in term of laws).

Maybe they don't want to become like Louisiana where Cajun is spoken by the older ones while the young generation tend to go to English only. ( Correct me if i'm wrong).

Well i don't know how it is in others airlines but what are your hiring practises?

IMHO, it would be better if the hiring was based on your flying experience.

So far, even if you think, Brucelee, that our pilots are just ok with their english, we still go from A to B and this is what matters.

Happy new year everyone
