I work for a UK airline and I have a UK licence. I don't know why people think getting an EASA one is going to help them unless they currently reside in a European country. The right to live and work is the biggest hurdle - if the politicians **** that one up then the licence you have won't matter a bit. The only place a UK citizen is guaranteed to be able to work after Brexit is Ireland, and do you think Ryanair will hire you of they can't send you off to Eastern Europe?
