I hear that the CAA has just informed the unelected public servants of EASA that it won't take their intention of scrapping National Licences and Ratings lying down.
That may be so but, in the brave new world of EASA, the UK is but one voice among 27, and is the only one that has national licences. Whilst it would be comforting to believe that we have a significant influence in the affairs of the United States of Europe, the fact is that our influence is about as significant as Rhode Island's (or maybe Vermont's) in the affairs of the USA.
By all means, as Fuji Abound suggests, 'wait and see' but, of course, by then it will be too late.
