Finally, the language issue is addressed. If a pilot is unable to communicate a distress or an emergency situation, then he is a crap pilot. Italians, spaniards...they mess it all up. Both on ground and in the air. Try to fly into Bergamo or Ciampino when it's busy and with **** weather...god..you get at least three different approach clearances in an almost-impossible-to -understand english. "Decen transichn levl seventifive, traffic twelv, too tousand, cleerd ils one five, towr wun-too-wun-sefen, deesreegard, cleerd vee-o-r tree-tree." It seems like the busiest airspace in the world, but they are just messing it all up with their poor pronounciation and southern temper.
This has got to come to an end. (By the way I am non-english).
