Biggest proponent of the EASA FTL was actually the UK in the relevant working groups.
There was actually a great paper from the Royal Aeronautical Society about the challenges for the CAA in becoming a full fledged authority again, which basically said that it takes hundreds of extra employees in required manpower and around 5 years to be able to fulfill all roles again. Will be an interesting time ahead for the UK aerospace sector i guess. But then, seeing that new simulators for example are danish certified instead of UK, there might be a reason for stuff like that.
