Flight Safety
As I posted before; The ONLY argument in this matter should be FLight Safety.
But what do you do?
When during an International meeting between heads of states, EVERYBODY gives their speech in English, and ONLY the president of FRANCE uses "son francais". That was the most arogant ( or incompetent ) show ever seen on TV.
And the very same thing happened (with a different president of France) just a few days ago during the WW1 celebrations in Normandy.
How hard-headed can one be? ?
I love France, it is a nice place to live in, but on some issues? ? They have to wake up and let go.
To improve air traffic situational awareness for everybody in the air and on the ground, only a single language should be alowed for ALL comms.
This should have been mandatory from day 1 of international aviation.
Ps: I speak 4; Nederlands, Frans, Duits en Engels.
(Dutch, Francais, German, and English. )
