spanish compulsory

Maybe it is a very real truly great problem that Spanish is compulsory
but leaving a part practical reasons for that I would find
of very bad taste to fly in a company with headquarters
in Barcelona with a pilot who canīt even say "Hola".
After all Spanish uses more or less the same letters as English
- think about Russian, think about Japanese - and it is
a language spoken in a lot of places. Besides learning
Spanish you will understand better Italian, Portuguese
and even French.
And for those who find this condition so hard I just remind you
that the language of Barcelona (and Majorca, etc) is Catalan and no one
is asking you to learn our language.

But maybe I am wrong. Maybe instead of being Spanish compulsory for
Clickair pilots, what it should be done is that
English should be compulsory for those traveling in Clickair so that
the pilots can speak only one language, in this case the pretty
language of Shakespeare.



With respect to work with Clickair I know that some weeks ago I
saw an ad in www.cae.com (instead of clickair it was mentioned
catair)
