As regards Open skies, that will be on the table, along with access to the EEC free trade market. Your status as a net importer will stand to you here, but full access to the free trade market would require unrestricted movement of EU citizens into the UK a la Norway/Iceland/Switzerland....which was one of the big pro leave side's bug bears. Open skies will also feature in those negotiations as well as God knows how many other things.
EZY have far more to lose here than RYR, as the portion of EZY's business threatened is far larger.
That EU rule about non-EU companies not being allowed own more than 49% of EU airlines will be gone, so DAL can swallow up VIR. The unmentionable airline and QTR might come sniffing around some carriers too.....BA being owned by a Spanish company won't be affected by that obviously.
But I agree that cool heads need to prevail here. An awful lot of jobs in the UK and across Europe are at risk, hundreds of thousands at a minimum.
