English Language Requirement
Yahoo! News ^ | March 6, 2008 | Yahoo! News

The Yahoo link is a video link. I'm posting it to stress a point about the English language.

While there have been many discussions about making English the official language of the USA, I seldom involve myself with the politics of the proposal. Instead, I have always maintained English is the worldwide language of commerce. This video clip supports my position. Not requiring English proficiency, especially in the USA, almost certainly assures certain people will be imprisoned in the lower class.

I don't understand why the tower rep didn't simply ask the pilot to press #1 for English.

Sheesh!!!
