Well let's take EASA as an example: before Brexit 30% of the work and rules was the result of UK staff and CAA involvement. After Brexit: no more say by the UK but you will still have to follow the rules as set by EASA AND still pay to be part of EASA but cannot vote anymore... Smart thinking!
EASA is comprosed of 32 nations.
You do not need to be in the EU to be in EASA.

So the UK can remain in EASA after Brexit, if it chooses to do so.

As you state, EASA needs the work that the UK contributes, so why would the UK suddenly have no say?
It may lose voting rights, but that would only be 1/32nd overall influence, not a lot to lose.

The CAA would simply align itself to those EASA rules that it considers sensible and relevant.

(By the way, you didn’t prove that ALL UK airlines don’t want Brexit!
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence).
