OK...point well taken (as long as they speak English). However, I still
don't trust any mechanic I can't converse clearly with. I may not know how
to fix what he's working on, but I'm a pretty good judge of.....oh never
mind.

Doug,
Absolutely not, I believe in most jobs, employers should insist that
employees speak English.

Harry was not concerned that they could not speak English, his concern was
English was not their first language. I live in a very diverse area. I
have no problem communicating with people whose first language is not
English.

Harry,
Your racist views were clear.

"Not to worry; with all the airline cutbacks, your pilots on US-flagged
airlines won't be speaking English as their primary language anymore,
anyway."

As always, there's another way of looking at it: Would you want three
mechanics and a supervisor trying to fix an elusive problem with a jet
engine, and all 4 people speaking different languages, totally unable to
converse?
