Goddamn it Bertie, the man is a jerk, no doubt about it. But when he
doesn't come off as a pompous ass, and the question is phrased in good form,
either answer the man directly, but if you are ignorant of the answer as you
appear to be, just let it drop. Giving him grief for a well thought out
question is a sure way to make it indistinguishable to him the difference
between honest questions and most of his postings. Remember Psych 1? Or
the Fundamentals Of Learning?

It vaguely reminds me of the English Lord High Judge that passed a beggar
who had been in his court a few times for minor offenses. He pointed his
cane at him and said, "There is a rogue at the end of my cane." The beggar
said, "And at which end would that be, m'lord?"

If I understand correctly, the ICAO is putting more stringent
requirements for English for pilots and crew into effect on the first
of the year. Is that true? If so, does anyone know where I can find
an official description of the new requirements? Searching the ICAO
site pointed me to a zillion different pages.


Why, you think of learning English? Probably a wise move since I don't
think Crap is going to become an ICAO language anytime soon.
