Even some of the passengers interviewed on tv said the crew was calm and professional. Some of the passengers didn't even know the extent of the problem until they were safely on the ground. Btw....to the crew....flight crew and cabin crew...congratulations on a great job getting the plane safely on the ground. |

The old sensahuma gland playing up again, eh Monk? I have yet to see anyone saying anything negative about the crew's performance, indeed many have been complimentary but you find it necessary to take offence on their behalf regarding the humour displayed at what the FO may or may not have said.:mad:

Highly unlikely that a pilot whose first language is not English is going to lapse into English slang in the heat of the moment!

Your possible explanation is not correct. No expat pilot onboard. Also concensus suggests you need to get your hearing checked.

That's my story, and I'm sticking with it. I find your comment regarding my hearing to be highly xenophobic . Biatch :p
Haha... don't know how you got there... but sure! |
I find that Chinese often find difficulty pronouncing the end of some English words, e.g. 'Fault' pronounced as 'fau'.
I first noticed this with my Asian airline when some time ago, the Chinese Inflight Services Manager stormed into the cockpit, aggrieved about a just-messaged staff bonus that was less than expected. She shouted that she was not going to smile and wave at the pax as they disembarked, she was just going to tell them to 'fuh off'. |
Some funny moments do occur when there is difficulty with the language. Where I once worked the CSM when offering the choice of a coke or a diet coke would ask "you wan fat cok oh skinny cok". :uhoh:

There used to be a restaurant somewhere in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney that was named "The Fork and View"! For all I know it could be extant.

(I guess she was asking if I wanted another one). Can be amusing but as my Dad (also on that trip, along with Mum) used to remind us "Their English is a bloody sight better than your Mandarin" |
