May be all pilots need to have English tests like they do in the UK.

Want to change my address on my PPL and Commercial licenses but the CAA insist
I take an English test at 30 - 50 pounds by a examiner.
Pointed out to them that I have lived in the UK for some 75 years and also 
hold
other licences from MOD, USA, Barbados, Israel to name but a few and have 
never
been asked this, despite holding a radio certificate for all of them for in
excess of 50 years.

They were not too impressed when I asked if the language (English) has changed
in this time period :)
