If the Brexit EASA issue is caused by the inflexible and autocratic 'political dogma' of the UK then why do EASA licences pilots continue to be allowed to fly G-reg in UK? Surely EASA licences must be considered to be third country by UK?
As the UK chose to leave EASA, surely even with the most red, white and blue tinted glasses you can find, you can accept that the ‘Brexit EASA’ issue is caused by the UK?

I agree, EASA licences in the UK are now licences issued by a third country. As to why we’re still accepting them. I don’t kniw, perhaps UK gov were hoping that this little bit of largesse might earn the UK some reciprocity from the EU, perhaps it turns out we need them slightly more than they need us. However, UK chose to leave EASA ( and many other EU institutions such as Euratom and the EMA), because of the political dogma of the conservative party. That is the cause of UK licences no longer being EASA licences.
