And one of those barriers is insisting on a common language. In what way is insisting on a common language arrogant and pompous? That's got nothing to do with it, it's safety critical. Otherwise it wouldn't have been decided upon in the first place.
I was accused here of a lazy response, one thing that is very definitely a lazy (and totally unsubstantiated) claim is that making English a single language for R/T communications is arrogant and pompous. Any way you can back that up? Or is it a lazy and easy defence against the FACT that many in the industry are lacking the required standard in English Language Proficiency?
