It seems that about 40% of the new hire pilots at my regional are not native english speakers. Are you other guys having as many problems with the radio skills of your new FO's? My last FO had to check on with everyone about 3 times before they got our callsign right let alone our flight number. I had to override many calls just to end them in a timely fashion. Granted my second language skills are not as good as his were but my job does not depend on them. When does this become a safety issue that I should get the training department involved? Also for you training guys out there, why are you letting them through the IOE phase if it is happening online?
If the FAA wants our new "English" rating on our certificates, shouldn't someone be verifying the individual can pass the "speak" portion of the FAR?
