you can fly on a validation for 12 months which is what I’d imagine the CAA would do with the airlines whilst they wait for the person to convert.

The current situation with licences will change drastically once the airlines and the CAA see a shortage here in the U.K. suddenly it’ll be extremely easy to sponsor and to convert from EASA
