Exactly that. I genuinely don’t see the argument as to why licences weren’t grandfathered? What purpose did it really serve? Would have probably saved the SOLI paperwork. I also don’t understand why being part of the EU is so vital as others have rightly pointed out the likes of Norway, Switzerland etc are still members of EASA but not part of the EU. I get that the UK would have to accept the jurisdiction of the ECJ but is that really so much of a big deal? It’s clear the UK Gov haven’t got the foggiest when it comes to aviation in any case so maybe that would have been a good thing!
