Don't all international pilots speak English as a requirement for talking with air traffic control? I would assume that if English is standard for pilots it would also be standard for emergency equipment (in addition to any other languages)


I just hope that the "English speakers" on planes are better than the ones nominally fulfilling the same requirement on merchant vessels.


Pilots do, but some of the flight attendants may not.
