JEEEEZ!!!
Its just a requirement to put us in compliance with ICAO. Anyone who flies outside of the U.S. should appreciate this worlwide requirement. For those flying for foreign carriers, we saw this thing come down the tubes about a year ago, and no matter how many FAA licenses you had in your pocket, you had to go get tested on your "engrish profishery"!
Some people actually had to study for years to learn a second language, and understand the aero-babble we spread throughout the globe, just to enjoy the gravy-train lifestyle of aviation that we take for granted. Yet we complain about a 2 minute online form and 2 dollar charge.
This is just tongue-in-cheek humor, but it is factual.
Okay, I'm ready: Flame on!

So does this mean the controllers from Yangoon can finally speak English? They should have done this years ago if all that was holding them back was a piece of paper! I hope it works as well for China (especially Kunming), Korea, Taiwan (at night), and everywhere else we go.
