Studying to achieve fluency in a secondary language is identical to earning an additional college degree. It arguably takes more discipline and motivation actually and most HR departments are aware of this. The only difference is you get no “supporting documentation” to prove anything (a piece of paper called a degree). You can though if you become a certified translator.

So you have never encountered an application that gave you the opportunity to list any “extracurricular activities” on it? I have very limited experience with aviation apps thus far, but the few that I have encountered all had some section to list fluency in secondary languages. This is a skill that separates one from the crowd and that’s exactly what employers are looking for in this industry. I know this for a fact.

No you’re really not. If you actually were, you would never admit that “it’s not important.”

So you're saying it's like having 3 degrees? I wonder why Delta hasn't called yet.
