I couldn’t agree more with the sentiments of this thread. The problems were there before Brexit and have only been exacerbated since.
I’m an experienced Airbus TRI/TRE and I’m seriously considering ditching my UK qualifications and just staying with the Danes, who are far more pragmatic and respond on the day when emailing them. The amount of money and time I’m wasting, for a license that has not been materially correct since I SOLI’d, to an agency that answers to no one, does not deserve to have us representing it.
And there is now, and always has been, some slight differences when training and examining pilots from different member states, and that is becoming ever more burdensome to the TRI/TRE community as the UK is just another 3rd country in the eyes of EASA.
We should have stayed in EASA, but that is now history.
