Was wondering the same thing myself mate!
I find that a lot of people from European Countries speak at least one other language and it may be my perception, but when I meet people from Britain and Ireland they tend not to speak other languages. Surely this is going to be a limiting Factor? I realize that English is the international language of Aviation but you need to be able to chat to your fellow crew members?
And before someone (and they are out there, gets hysterical, and questions my religon,my nationality and parentage) this is JUST an opinion..... So be a grown up!
