One would hope the cabin crew would have been trained and competent in those
tasks.
Once they are, and the
entire cabin crew understands the
same language and phraseology, there should be no problem.
But, considering that the pilots may well be expats..... I suppose it becomes a matter of SOPs.
Either the flight deck learns the few necessary phrases in the local language, or the cabin crew learns those same phrases in English.
Anybody here has experience with this?
