Of course I am. So was the French posting that was cross posted to
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.admin.security that started this sorry assed
thread.

Or do you expect an old lead piper like me just to lead a posting like
that slide? Sheez, man, my lead pipe and me are still in the last
century.. ;-)

I know it does. However, there is such a thing as situational
awareness. It comes from knowing what is going on in the airspace
around you. Ask any commercial or even private pilot.

If that emergency is in airspace, occupied by other planes moving at
up to 0.9 mach, whose drivers only understand English (which is too
many of them also a second language) then hell yeah. If a heavy starts
to shed metal and the French pilot declares an emergency and starts a
very steep descend to a lower altitude, it is imperative that other
pilots in the air know that. And not hear it being translated by a
French air traffic controller into English after the fact.

We are talking about the safety of other planes also. Not just the
safety of the French speaking pilot's plane.

I always have my French speaking friend. Probably because people like
you make each day different and something to look forward to.. ;-)
