I flew out of Istres for a while and everything was done in French. I have also flown out of Sicily for a couple of months and there was plenty of Italian on the radio.

Yes, ATC dealing with international operations have to speak English. Typically, comms are initiated by pilots so ATC will flex to their language.

I suppose you’ve never flown in France?

I am assuming you never make any typos or misspell any words?

I have heard from a very good source that it may be a bit later to ensure the changes and their implementation are better thought out. The implementation of the last update (or lack thereof) is the reason there is a perception we need to update this policy.

Many bases support local economies and will not be closed simply for that reason : the government won’t let it happen.

Talk about cherry picking what is a factor and what is not to justify a salary increase…. Picking 2020 as the year to pick the number of days sitting/decisions rendered by Federally Appointed Judges to prove they also don’t do too much work is dishonest….
