Screwed....
"2.9 In the recent past there have been statements in the aviation media and correspondence addressed to the CAA, demanding that the CAA ensures that the existing privileges of UK licence holders are preserved. As explained above, the CAA has no legal powers to ensure that existing privileges are retained. It must also be appreciated that as European legislation overrides national provisions, any agreements in respect of licensing regulation that the CAA may have given in the past, whether generally or to individuals, will not be sustainable into the future if those agreements are contrary to European regulations."
Looks like we are screwed then, as usual.....! Bang go our CAA PPL's....! In the Alice in Wonderland world of the EU nothing is allowed to come between the bureaucrats and the public whom they tax to ensure their own existence. It's all about control. EU action against N-registered a/c and pilots is more of the same, - sheer malicious spite really.
Sadly, as soon as the self-serving amateurs in the EU started to get interested in aviation, the writing was on the wall. Everyone knows none of this BS has anything to do with Safety. The US system works very well, is much less restrictive and bureaucratic, less expensive, is faster, and there is zero evidence that it's less safe. Trust the petty amateurs in the EU to take something and set it up as an expensive gravy-train.
The sooner the UK gets the hell out of the EU the better. More than ever, we simply cannot afford it, and certainly deserve better.
It's often forgotten that the EU needs us far more than we need it.....
