Can't quite see any of the USA/Canada based companies working on the US contracts (or German) being able to step up to that plate by summer of 2022?
The national employee item isn’t an issue, you employ UK pilots. The CAA/MAA issue will be the same for any company wanting to bid, UK or not. If you’re able to recruit specialist manpower in order to do that work then it’s game on for anyone who wants to bid.
Not a cat in hell’s chance that Gripen would be used, unfortunately it’s far too expensive, though it would be the perfect platform to provide the training.
