Also we know that pilots are usually provided with visas in many countries out of Europe for work. If the UK would be in need of such work visas, then I can't see why not, I'm pretty sure the government would want to make the lives of EZY, BA etc much easier by providing such work visas "IF NEEDED" as do other countries out of the EU
I very very much suspect for practical reasons the likes of BA will be strongly lobby for visas or "grandfather rights" for existing employees.

However what will happen with regard to recruiting new employees post Brexit could be more interesting.

Basically will the UK airlines really need to "import" new pilots from Europe post Brexit, or will the government view be that demand is such that the UK can train their own in sufficient numbers/have unemployed UK licence holders who should be recruited before foreign nationals?

It will certainly be very interesting to see Balpa's position on this over the next two years.
