So basically, for you, who seem to be a British citizen, it was totally useless to SOLI your licence to a MS Authority, in your case IAA. You can't work in the EU Member states unless with necessary work permits.
Moreover, EU citizens owning only a UK issued Part-FCL (pre BREXIT) is also useless. Cannot fly EU MS aircraft with a UK issued licence.
It seems like validation is the only process to go through for those needing to fly MS aircrafts.
Shall an EU citizen with a UK issued Part-FCL license, wait for the 'dust to settle' and hope that a bi lateral agreement is struck between the two parties to cross recognise UK-EASA license. ( while missing the opportunity for a job offer?
Or
Should an EU citizen with a UK issued Part-FCL license, take the plunge and validate (sitting for the 14 ATPL exams + skill tests again = 1 year) the license while working?
