Hell, I deal with EVA, and Korean Air, and China Southern on center on nearly a daily basis, and half those guys can't communicate effectively in english, and they're captains, let alone brand new student pilots trying to learn to fly. Make it easier on them and they might learn a little quicker and at a correllary level rather than just rote memorization every time they do something. |
Hey bud, that statement is not entirely correct. During training events and ground school obviously we require them to do there best to keep up with the english instruction. THEY ARE NOT FORBIDDEN to discuss material between then in Chinese..obviously the students with stronger english help the students with weaker or language problems by tutoring them in Chinese. That statement made is a little out of context.
Given the statement above you made, I also listen to EVA, Korean and AIR CHINA ON CENTER everyday and i am surprised that you justify captains not having english abilities?????. At that stage in the game I would hope they can speak it at least.....Sierra is doing them a service by providing english classes ( and encouraging them to speak it everyday) in addition to there english training because come this year you should be a aware of ICAO ANNEX 2008 which will require them to speak read and write english at ICAO LEVEL 3 before they can have a career in this industry.....
LET THE GAMES BEGIN
