Greek Assessment?

I find it rather odd that you guys where given the assessment in Greek it doesn't make much sense to me as the International recognised and Mandated language of aviation is English NOT Greek!!!! Hence the reason why we ALL have to pass an ICAO English proficiency test for our pilot licences!!!

I totally understand that flying for Cyprus Airways as a Cypriot national you should definately have good command of the Greek language I believe that is a very reasonable request for our beloved national airline that is in big trouble and won't be here for much longer......

BUT in reality for the purpose of the JOB DESCRIPTION PILOT English is a MUST and candidates should be tested in ENGLISH before anything else in my mind....

That would explain why i hear some absolutely NON- ICAO Standard RT coming out of CY makes me laugh... Where i work they would absolutely crucify you make no mistake!!!! But then again I work for a legacy carrier and not a failing airline which is currently and very sadly what CY is...


Goodluck
