Brexit Job Prospects

Morning all,

Just saw this from Easyjet Switzerland:

https://www.latestpilotjobs.com/jobs/view/id/8537.html

The line that caught my attention is “We unfortunately can't hire anybody with a UK licence in future (due to BREXIT).” Seems a bit bizarre as they recognise CTC and Oxford as approved training providers and they train people for the issue of a UK licence.

This is the first time that I have seen an employer in any business (not just aviation) excluding UK qualified applicants. Perhaps this is their reaction to the possibility of a no deal Brexit.

Will we see other EU employers adopting a similar policy?

Will we see UK airlines blocking those with EU issued licences?

As March 2019 approaches still with no clear direction on Brexit the confusion just seems to deepen.
