@ Hurz: actually this is exactly what I do, to the point we keep a dialog in two different languages. What pisses me off is when they start either ignoring my calls or bypassing. A colleague told me the other day he called in 5 times, switched to the back up frequency and the same situation he called and everyone else was getting answers but him, then he said he was transmitting blind his intentions and sqacked 7600, you cant imagine how quick he got an answer! I think we should use this mean even when its a virtual Lost Com to alert that a congested frequency is actually a lost comm situation.
Other thing is, you have a congested frequency in SP Area, and all flying IFR and they give you nonesense traffic information...
A captain suggested to improve things in aviation in Brazil, instead of bringing in foreign pilots we should substitute ATC with foreign controllers (obviously not French, Spaniards, Greek, etc)
