Local or global time?

Local time is a political fiction.
Global (i.e., actual) time is all that matters.

Allegedly, a Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich
overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in
Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because
you lost the bloody war."

Thats rubbish
All the german pilots speak english the whole time with the tower,
even on domestic flights in germany
and they all speak perfect english

There was no reason to believe that he might be a pirate.

Why do you think a pirate would go out of his way to give you clues that
he was a pirate?

Were you bending over, or was that one really that far over your head?

Umm, which year did PanAm stop flying in Germany?

Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in
Germany. Why must I speak English?"

Yes, just another haha silly Germans story.
It's not entirely true that all pilots speak Englsih, VFR sport pilots
can use German, but certainly all formal ATC communication is in English.
By comparision, the French use - guess what - French for ATC as well
as English. They have special rights, of course.
