What can become a bit old hat on pprune is the usual "France bashing".
Yes we all know that english is the official aviation language, but the rather snotty way some, i said some british or indeed other english speaking countries go about this is tiring to listen to.
People not fluent in english are often mocked or looked down upon, conveniently forgetting the fact that they themselves often are monolingual.

Yes in an ideal world we would all be speaking one language, but that would take away so much of the richness languages have in them. This often not seen by monolinguists.

And lets be honest here, aircraft aren't exactly flying into one another on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis in these countries.
More pressing matters need to be adressed in aviation in my mind.
