This thread began as a joke by 212man. But if you are privy to real reasons why we have had to endure the administrative, personal and professional cost that has resulted, without being cryptic, please share.
EASA is enforced by the ECJ. The EU were very happy for us to remain within EASA but the ERG etc wanted to 'take back control' and insisted that the UK's sovereignty was paramount. Ergo no UK regulations could be over ruled by the ECJ. Result, hard Brexit.
