For someone who's just come out of flight training like your son, it's 125k pounds down the swanny I'm afraid.
As you’ve said by your own admission it’s pure speculation, and your figure of a 25% reduction for 10 years has been pulled completely from thin air.
As others have said Larki, the people on here will be able to give you little helpful advice. Talk with EasyJet and the training provider once this has all blown over a bit to see what options you have with licence conversion, and ask the CAA about length of validity. Unfortunately your son won’t be the only one in this boat.
Good luck
