An aircraft type that I'd always loved to have flown. Good looking unlike the generic 'types of today. Probably a bit of over engineering in it like some other British aircraft.
Good luck to those affected. A sad day.

Rumours of Avalon being own a few quid.
Titan re-registered an A321 and now, or certainly were flying for Italian Post, like one Jota airframe did.
G-OFOM will be flying next week out of Biggin Hill and for the rest of the European F1 season. Don't forget the QinetiQ RJs at Boscombe.

Mate of mine has lost his job. If he cannot get his property back, he will break in to get it back. Brexit means carbotage. It has happened as the remoaners said. The Gams cannot engage brain cells. That is so true. Before a mod deletes me, My mate was one. I am trying to help him find work. What are you doing for similar?

Its an oversight. You can’t possibly think of everything when negotiating anything let alone something as large as Leaving the EU and up against a tight deadline. Whilst there will be some short time issues I’m sure long term it will lead to a lot of new opportunities. Either way it’s done now so time to move on from that debate. I’m sure the crews will be in demand now the industry is nearly back on its feet.

However that's history, as you quite rightly point out.
Nowt to to do with timescales or whether it was an 'oversight' (really??) - the EU cvould never let us leave and then carry on trading as if we hadn't. That applied to air freight as to everything else.

Spot on. They don’t want other countries in the EU getting any ideas about following us. Had to make an example of us but they will have to change their tune eventually.

Could you please advise how exactly they have made an example of us compared to allowances for any other non-EU nation? Otherwise surely EU airspace would be full of lowest-possible-cost Asian and African operators carrying out regular intra-EU freight and pax ops?

And that’s fine but if you seriously think it’s in the EUs interest for Brexit to go well then I can’t help you. It would collapse like a deck of cards if it did.

1. An arbitrary deadline off the back of an election slogan wasn’t in the best interests of the UK and it’s people because one “oversight” is one too many, it was too complex an arrangement to unpick with speed.
2. Addressing even one matter or oversight in the future means that contrary to above slogan, the PM didn’t get Brexit done.
3. If the environment existed where Jota and others could operate freely as before, it would then be claimed it ‘wasn’t really Brexit’. By and large such critics would be correct.
Like everything else about Brexit by the present UK government. It cannot be addressed for the reasons that ICAO guidance states. Some people know their facts. The Telegraph in the Officers Mess will not report such as it is not in the interests of its owners (if someone has a handle refering o type of aircraft flown). I can tell you that brexit has lead to my AML becoming invalid to work for companies in the UK! Brexit is actually the lose of rights for Britons. The OAPs and unwashed didn't care about that. It was "I don't want a foreigner walking down my street as he is not speaking English!" Just like my gammon mother in law.

So no European airlines have failed then, as they are in the EU? Brexit is always the reason brought up by remoaners while they are happy to ignore the impact of Covid, which hasn’t had a mention here yet Covid has brought aviation to its knees.
On the more positive side, aviation jobs at airports are seeing big wage rises due to the end of limitless supplies of cheap foreign labour by people always willing to undercut the locals.
Seems this thread has been hijacked by the normal suspects who need another outlet apart from jet blast.
