Hi Folks
Not sure where to post this one but I'm sure a moderator will move it if it's not in the right place!
I have a student here in France who has a job interview for a ground ops position at Saint Exupery and I am tutoring him for it.
However, I was wondering of any of you have a list of French vocabulary for the basic bits and bobs on stand that he will have to deal with.
Like the French words for tug, taxiway, runway, stand etc...
Would be a great help.
Thanks in advance
Wayne

Ah Dassault always have a mile in advance and had understood 40 years ago that you could be a proud French manufacturer and use English when it was obvious to do so.
(The cockpits ot the Mercures were all in English at a time where Air france was paying Boeing 300.000 USD per aircraft to have all the plexiglass in the cockpits of its B727 translated into French.....

Vive l' entende cordiale..
