English is my first language, if that's what you're actually trying to ask. As is about 55% of EK pilots. The remaining 45% speak English to the required level 4 or above. Many hopefuls are good pilots i'm sure but if you can't communicate effectively on the flight deck, your skills are wasted.

Maybe the tone in the post was somewhat condescending and for that, I apologise. It was a genuine question I know and at the very least we should treat all of our professional colleagues with basic respect and manners. Anonymity is not an excuse for rudeness.
