British Pilots working throughout Europe at bases such as Leipzig, Bergamo, Hahn etc etc etc would\could be sent home on a nation by nation basis to swamp the UK with Pilots. Don't forget the UK is a significant net exporter of Pilots. At Leipzig there must be 200-300 British Pilots.
The only sensible conclusion is that a leave vote would be suicidal for British Pilots.
Really? You think that the UK will have to keep all foreign workers even when Britons are kicked out of the rest of Europe? That has already been the case under cronyism and protectionism in most of the EU, only the UK and a handful of others playing by the rules. But if the UK leaves, the legal need to employ foreigners goes, so why would our businesses be forced to retain them while there is no reciprocity? So, instead of Britons being illegally prevented from having EU jobs and also finding UK jobs filled by EU counterparts, you'd simply find EU jobs legally withheld from UK folk and the UK jobs opened up to them.
KP, you and a few others have made some valid points that I hadn't previously considered, but like most of the "in" campaigners, you dress your argument in horror stories that discredit your position.
