[QUOTE=NoelEvans;10706109]It will become possible to hold both a UK license and any other European country's licence, which is not possible right now.
Negative. To hold a UK and EASA license will be as much possible as holding a FAA and/or Canadian ATPL...Hence by passing all exams and maybe having ratings/flight hours credited...In regards to all other quotes of the minister: They are the usual self aggrandising hollow phrases. Normally promoted ad nauseam by very mediocre personalities who wrap themselves up in a flag...The reality is that whole regulatory departments within the CAA have been outsourced to a European wide Institution. To believe these can be recreated out of thin air or rubber stamped is naive to extreme.
