If you guys that only speak one language took to the books and learned another language you would be more marketable. That why UK is packed with us foreign pilots, because we know your language and can fit in socially. You cant complain that lufthansa and other national carriers prefers pilots being capable of communicating in their language, its the exact same in England. I dont see BA, FLYBE, BMI, EASY, THOMSON or any other here ever take on anyone only speaking french or italian!
Im on my way back to hometurf in Scandinavia after ten years in England, without the language I would be stuck in UK.
