BAengineer, I disagree.
If I may, using a similar style from your previous post:
How many times must it be repeated. The UK are leaving the EU and any associated privileges and agencies. If they UK want to maintain a close and special relationship and decide to stay within EASA (great!), then it must first understand its membership requirements and then accept the “whole” package: Exactly as Switzerland or Norway have done for example. A fudge (“cherry picking”) to only accept some requirements just because the UK don’t like some others is simply not acceptable - it would undermine the integrity and principle of common regulations and compliance.
It is now up to the UK to decide whether they want to remain or not.
The ball is entirely in the UK's court.
