This is a totally different issue! No one is trying to educate the
pilots. Also, their English is for specific purposes. I assume that
they work on pronunciation so that they can make themselves understood
and that they have to master all the jargon and vocabulary and other
technical language that they need to function as a pilot. It seems to
me that their disagreement about the level of English needed (I assume
that they think they need less than demanded by the international
licensing commission) is a case of Israeli chutzpa (which isn't always
negative).
