I'm sorry that you missed out on some jobs
Wether its a good or a bad thing will depend on your personal goals/situation.
If you want to live & work in the EU, its obviously a very bad thing.
If you want to live and work in the UK, personally I think it will be a good thing. I've already been advantaged applying for jobs back in the UK, that highly skilled EU colleagues were interested in and couldn't.
We weren't always eligible for jobs in the EU due to language requirements, whereas obviously all pilots speak English. That did skew the opportunities a little
