Would english only speaking pilots boycott european airports until they speak english only be an acceptable interim solution ?
Meanwhile, level 6 spaniards, french or italian pilots may provide the workforce for channel or pond crossing
Now more seriously, i wonder if/when spanish will be in use (not excluding english being used simulteanouly) at some airports in US, since spanish may become the most spoken language there during this century or the next.
Btw i have no opposition to speak english only in main french airports and upper airspace, but i think we īre more efficient on aprons or for any complex situation (safety or security) if we are allowed to use our mother tongue. Itīs true btw that we ain īt best european english speaker, but our english is still much better than most americans/brits ī french so we shouldn īt be so often mocked by our western cousins (scandinavians or dutch are more entitled to mock us). I am convinced english only on UAS/approach/tower at Cdg will happen within the next 10/20 years. Other main cities could take much longer, maybe 30 years until previous generations retire).
