With all this in mind. What would be the most logical licensing choice (UK CAA or EASA) for a future UK pilot to maximise career opportunities? If I want to work in the EU I need a job offer from an EU airline and thus an EASA license, but if for some other reason I am not granted a work visa then I am stuck in the UK and unable to fly for any company. This is my interpretation as things stand. correct me if I am wrong. But with the high volume of air travel between the UK and EU I expect a resort back to similar rules as pre-Brexit once this Covid crisis is dealt with where EASA and UK CAA are mutually recognized and non-limiting on what aircraft you can fly and where.
Note - I am currently looking at flight schools and wether or not to pursue a UK CAA or EASA license - are UK citizens even allowed to go for EASA licenses with the current rules? I have done my research on line but can't find any conclusive information.
