Come on guys cut the non-English speakers some slack.

How many UA or DL attendants can speak Turkish?

Yes we are luckily enough to speak English but seriously why should every person who speaks English expect that, when flying a non-English speaking carrier, the crew should speak English as fluently as we do?

It may shock you but when traveling DL and AA I have had communication issues. I speak English, I am English. The crew on DL and AA speak English also but still they have delivered me completely different drinks to those that I have ordered. Or queried what I wanted when I said "can I have some new cutlery" rather than "can I have some new silverware".

Anyway good TR.
