I had realised that the first flight would be empty so fortunately no pax were exposed to these go arounds. However, it still does'nt make it all right, and had it not been an empty positioning leg the outcome would have been identical as the problem would still have arisen at the wrong moment, especially with crews who probably do not have the best and clearest understanding of a language which is not their native tongue.
