Good afternoon all,
The aforementioned ability is the result of multiple factors;
-Education; a lot of emphasis on foreign languages (country´s international character and focus)
-Foreign media; e.g. foreign movies with Dutch subtitles.
During the selection procedure at KLM, attention is being payed to one´s English proficiency (part of candidate´s overall appearance)
Correct usage of R/T is also "monitored" during simulator sessions.
kind regards,
NB
