KAG,
I would have bowed to your superior wisdom..... were it not that I've worked for about 35 years in France, of which about 25 years in the aviation industry (in a French-speaking firm), and the remainder in technical documentation and translation.
Completely free, easy attack towards a language.
I beg your pardon? "Attack"? Having used both languages for about forty years, I simply expressed my opinion.
Argue as much as you want about Air France wanting to translate their documents....
You missed that point as well....
It's
not Air France
wanting to translate their documents, it's a small minority union trying to p!ss off Air France.
As a matter of fact, Air France does translate a lot of their documents (if they're not already written in French in the first place) for the use of the majority of their personnel, for which knowledge of English is
not a prerequisite for being hired, unlike these trouble-stirrers..
