​@@PubstarHero these things always makes me laugh hysterically, I think it's something about it being 100% innocent, but them just NOT speaking the same language as you! Have had similar things happening with many foreigners, but honestly always struggle the most with people from Asia, as their languages are so different. Even if a dude switches to German or Spanish, I can often follow, among the 4 - 6 languages I do speak to varying degrees.

[@keithfreitas2983]

even if English is a 2nd language to many countries, in Aviation it is mandatory to speak and understand English. why is English the spoken language in Aviation because most of the Aviation was done by English Countries and ICAO voted making it official.

"Who is going first", do you expect everyone to be as brutal as possible and then you get 20 pilots to yell "ME !" back at ATC ? I would also answer that with 'Uh...' When on the ground, it is not the pilot of any plane that is in control of traffic on the airport, it is the TOWER.

[@kt420ish]

​@Jila_Tana there is clearly more context behind that radio call. The tower was addressing that single plane on that call. Tower was clearly in control there. Not sure how you saw it. Watch it again maybe until it makes sense 🤷‍♂️

[@madysonoster4759]

When we study languages in college, a lot of them switch words for past/present/future tenses/questions. We don't have any special tense for questions in English, so we just ask them in proper tense. I.E "have you brought/are you bringing?" Languages that do have a special tense for questions can sometimes change the entire sentence structure or entire words rather than small bits at the end. Tenses involving questions are called "interrogative" in nearly all the textbooks that translate a language into english. He most likely was hoping the dude would at least remember the word interrogative from studying. If he recognized it from textbooks he should have been able to understand was asking a question from there. Unfortunately it seemed like he was non-proficient in both listening AND understanding.

[@drea4864]

To be fair the pilot of Air China could have had a very bad radio signal, or been in a tunnel vision or been used to getting statements only and not questions. The controller should have noticed that due to the pilot not responding to his question correctly it is unlikely that he got the clearance. Maybe it would have been better if he changed his question to just the statement "hold" or "stop". But also I do not have neither the full audio nor am I a controller, so what do I know? :D

[@bernaro]

It's a real stupid question who shown some harrassic overzealous. If any problem with an aircraft taxiing, the instruction should be "HOLD POSITION PLEASE". An aircraft arriving with a crew and passagers from abroad with almost 14 hours of flight must receive some minimal respect. Second, my guess is that clearance should be given in accordance with all the ground operations including follow me car to help and prevent any kind of incident like that. Controllers have first of all, duties to made the operations fluid and not to frooze the radio channel with auto satisfaction.

[@louisem7653]

[@We_Seek_Truth]

I would be upset with that first pilot also! (Air China 981?) But the question is phrased in the same manner as foreigners misuse English... "Have you been cleared?" VS "You have been cleared." I would suggest some sort of universal language for this dangerous industry. The ATC speak English and the pilots BARELY speak English. 'Planely', that's a recipe for disaster.
