They speak English is Europe, albeit with many strong accents, as you cross over lots of countries in a relatively short time.

It's a good thing English is the standard language around the world for aviation or 99% of us would be Domestic only. Trilingual = someone who speaks 3 languages , Bilingual = someone who speaks 2 languages. Someone who only speaks 1 language = Americans

Why do I need to speak another language if everyone I need to already speaks American?

Well... two guys from one side of the world flying on the other side of the world struggle to stay awake whIle sitting idle for hours while listening other aircraft and ATC talk in a foreign language and per the FAA not being allowed to do anything but study their manuals or stare forward.
... they are forgiven.
They had a 30 hour layover then departed HHn after 16:00 local. Hardly a hit on the body clock. I highly doubt they were both asleep.

I like the way you think, but that's the wrong century! :eek:

British Empire is a more accurate explanation for "English" being the standard. :D French was a close second! :eek:

We can go to Excuse B. We invented flying.

Or Excuse C: Everyone knew way back when that Arabic would replace French in France anyways.

Or Excuse D (the catch all win all):

AMERICA #### YEAH!!!!!!
