"riiiiiight!......as opposed to iceland who validates forgein licenses? Dubai? Hong Kong? India? china, korea, many asian countries etc etc. Do you know anything about flying or are u just a disgruntled wannabe who cant get a job?"
No my friend I am employed, by the way down here in Portugal the ATC talk to you in english
Not so long time ago, about 15 years, in the ex USSR (and the communists country in Europe) , the ATC spoke russian to the pilots.
For this reason there is not an unique language in the OACI.Perhaps in 50 years from now the pilots ll talk chinese.
