My god Mustang,
The French have started to speak English. Although most of their vocab and grammer may not be top notch, they are still trying.
My experience with the French controllers has been very fine. If they don't understand you they patiently ask you to "say again" but i dont see the same patience with the Americans. As a matter of fact the French try to improve their English at all opportunity.
Just remember its a second or even third language for some pilots, but thats how it's going to be, they have to master the language of aviation.
Have you listened to the Spanish pilots, i just love them. They are faster then these intolerant clowns.
And who said the English or even the Americans are the best English speakers? Some simply swallow half the sentence.
Anyway like you said...PEACE and we all have a job to do and to do it safe. So lets work towards just that.
cheers
