Hi BelArgUSA,
yes I remember PANAM and yes I was also doing south pole flights for our weathermen from the DLR, but I´m NOT LH. It doesn´pay of any more to fly for a german carrier.
However the rule about EZE is very interesting. That´s the kind of stuff i was looking to hear about.
But imagine you fly into a brazilian international airport, lets say REC and you have to give controls to your F/O since you are the only one o/b able to speak porugese, because the controler has no idea about english except yes and no.....
If you are talking next time to the Argentinian DGAC it might be worth recomending that Argentinia goes the first step to recomend to the other MERCOSUL countries, or even more, to have english as mandantory language at ALL AIRPORTS OF ENTRY (intl arpts) within south america and on certain airways normally used by foreign carriers.
As you see I just joined pprune and I´m impressed about the professional way things are discussed here.
So long HURZ
