No lie
I've tried to be nice but the fact of the matter is that COPA lowered their standards because the needed to, not because they wanted to.
I have several close friends who have 4 bars on their shoulders with English level 5 and all their flights into the USA where removed from their schedules and switched for flights to Latinamerica.
I guess the rule is that either both crew members are English level 6 or at least the captain is English level 6 when flying into the USA.
And to all of you guys saying that this is unfair well I'm sorry to say this but English has always been the language of aviation.
