Holly **** thats toooooo many books.
Many countries like Thai India Malay etc use english only!
Sorry guys but I fly WORLDwide long-haul, meaning all continents... So you expect me to learn xxx languages??? Pls look at some european counties (not france or spain). They all have enough discipline to communicate in english.

Thanks for this post, I hope ICAO gets tough on it.
Gents, I love south america for its people, but flying there can be a pain in the a.s.s. with some professional pilots having no respect for any radio discipline. I know you all can speak and read english. How should you otherwise study your A/C manuals??? So start up and try using the Gringo langueage and dont be to proud. YOU WILL MAKE YOUR AIRSPACE SAFER!!!!
Could the poor soles on board GOL still be alive if ONE language would have been used?
O.k. agora diz se estou errado?!
