What a load of nonsense
Have you ever flown abroad? Have a look at the makeup of the pilot group and licences accepted in the sandpit for starters. Your assertion that a UK licence wouldn't be recognised outside the UK or would be un-insurable is palpable nonsense.
Given EASA FTL's are amongst some of the worst in any developed country, maybe insurance companies will pull the plug?
The UK CAA allowing the use of an EASA licence for atleast 2yrs, is eminentally sensible pragmatism. It gives airlines, plenty of time to sort out licencing going forward
