I think it's sad that people trying to promote safe practices (ex. one R/T language) are shot down with the usual "it's all legal to use language xx, and you evedently do not understand international law" etc etc.
Many things are legal in aviation, just not very reccomended.
It's legal to fly trough a active Danger Area, just not wise.
It's legal fly your cessna as close as possible to a large jet in VMC in certain classes of airspace, it's just not something I want to do myself.
It's legal to fly from A to B in an aircraft VFR with only 45 minues reserves in marginal weather....... I don't do that eighter.
Se a pattern?
I fear we will still have the language discussion in 10 years here on pprune, unless is causes a major bang before then.
As for Spanish ATC proficiency, I pray that things are better then outlined here, otherwise it's scary!
