French?

[RayJr]

Hi Everyone,

Question for you veterans. How important is the ability to speak French in Corporate flying?

I know for the radio English is fine. But for jobs I see posted in YQB, YUL (and beyond) is there an expectation to be able to speak French?

Even if not a requirement, how beneficial would you say French is for corporate pilots?

Cheers

Ray

It helps, but it depends on the corporate clientele. Then again, today you probably don't even need to speak English if you're coming in with a valid PPC/typerating

I've picked up Charter customers many times in Quebec and they are fine with just English. However an owner would be less tolerant with his full time crew. I have heard of guys not getting jobs because the owner wanted a French speaking crew, which is fine.

Makes sense, Thanks!
