To answer the OP I’ve not read of any initiative by UK airlines to push for such recognition. Happy to stand corrected if that’s not the case. They are, it would seem, able to employ EU citizens who hold a UK licence presumably on a visa basis. It is worth remembering that these issues are entirely down to the inflexible attitude of the government at the time.

I remember reading that the CAA wanted, hoped, to stay within EASA. I believe that meant obeying rules without being able to influence them sort of like being an associate rather than a full menber. It’s a mess but it’s what the British electorate voted for.
