Presumably all of the many non-British EU pilots currently employed by British operators and based in the UK will be required to return home and could potentially replace all those British pilots that you say will no longer have the right to work there? That's a good thing if you feel there are really that many British pilots flying for non-British EU employers, because there are a lot of non-British EU pilots employed by UK operators. Job protectionism across most of the EU is absolutely rife - in my view the UK is the only state that has adequately embraced the principal of free movement of workers within the EU with respect to aircrew employment. On the contrary, this could be a very good thing for British pilots.
I'm inclined to agree.
