Would you consider the following sentence truthful?
Over time, this would include removing references to EASA - a purely cosmetic change.
Do you consider the loss of flying privileges, the no longer mutual recognition of training, the increased cost,
purely cosmetic? But I will agree with you that most of the inaccuracy comes from omission. For example, as you pointed out:
Both commercial and private UK pilot licences would remain valid for use on UK-registered aircraft
And what about EASA-registered aircraft? The CAA knows the answer to this really well, they just avoid the topic as it would spoil their self-righteous press statement. Sorry, I expect better.
