Thanks. The U.K. negotiators obviously didn’t push it for their own reasons.
But just to address the point I’d made that you referenced in your quote; what EU airlines
currently allow U.K. issued licence holders fly for them on their U.K. licences? I’m only aware of airlines requiring their crew to get a licence issued from the airline’s AOC issuing authority.
In other words, how many U.K. issued licence holders are flying in KLM, SAS, Aer Lingus, etc? I’m thinking none. So this Jan 1st changeover is largely arbitrary.
Maybe this affects Corporate Jet pilots more?
