I have to say, that's disappointing to hear. I am a remainer, with no chance of dual citizenship, who lost their job at the start of the pandemic. For the past two years Brexit cost me multiple gigs as a ferry pilot as I was only able to get contracts to fly G-reg aircraft. It cost me the chance to apply for the rare EASA airline job that has appeared since, and reduces my bargaining power going forward (instead of having 100+ airlines I could work for, it's now less than 10).

However Brexit has happened, and wishing the system to crumble will only harm me and my colleagues further. I wish the vote had gone the other way, but it didn't, and now I have to hope that I was wrong and this leaves us in a stronger position going forward. To want to be right will only be cutting my nose off to spite my face.
