IMHO there is a significant possibility of a meltdown in this department i.e. status quo going forward.

But nobody can tell this far out.

One thing which is sure is that the issue is going to become red hot nearer the time. I say this because every time I discuss this with anybody in the top end of GA (light jets, etc) they (a) simply cannot believe it will happen; (b) are sure to make a massive fuss via top level political contacts; (c) take part in a large scale legal action.

Within the UK only (I made some legal enquiries re that a while ago) the Govt can do anything regardless of economic losses, under the Crown Immunity principle. But EU-wide it is not so simple.

A few years to go, anyway. I am enjoying my IFR privileges to the full in the meantime
