Brexit & Licence Change of State
Hello all,
I've completed all my paperwork to change my licence to IAA to ensure I can complete my CPL/ME/IR and apply for jobs outside of the UK (and in the UK) post Brexit - there's just too much uncertainty of what will happen, if anything is going to happen and what the long-term consequences will be. So I'm playing safe and changing to another EASA state.
I've heard a lot of people in a similar situation say "it'll be alright, something will be sorted, we'll always be able to fly under EASA what ever happens". Are they just being nieve and burying their heads? - that's how it looks to me or maybe I'm just being a pessimist?
What are everyone else's thoughts, are you changing state, who are you changing to?
The other snag I have is that I have an IR(R). Worst case it looks as though I'll get it back post 29th March where I can then apply for a UK national licence. Anyone know of another solution? I've heard that I can apply for a UK national licence to keep my UK national ratings but haven't had anything conclusive on this - I am planning to phone the CAA this coming week for clarification.
