Everyone is playing their cards very close to their chest for reasons that are not clear to me. As an example, before we entered into this transition period there was nothing at all in the transition agreement or elsewhere that said we would continue membership of EASA, and right up to the night of Brexit both EASA and CAA websites were months out of date still talking about the possibility of a no-deal Brexit. On the night of Brexit both suddenly made very carefully worded announcements that don't actually say the UK is still in EASA but sort of imply it, although by phone the Authority are quite clear that our certificates are still good. Now why not give us this info in advance? Who knows? We actually had to wait to see if an EASA approval activation arrived or not on the on monday morning to be sure, not very satisfactory.
