Why?
Why on Earth would you want to?
If you want to join BA they won`t take you unless you have a UK ATPL - trained in the UK too I think. (well obviously, or it wouldn`t be a UK ATPL
)
As the UK is part of the EU, whether we like it or not, you already have an EU licence.
Or is it that over there in EASA mainland Europe they regard the British ATPL as the best? It bl
y ought to be at the amount it costs!!

To the OP, transferring EASA states basically involves the transfer of medical records to the new state, and the issue of a new licence from the host state, finally, the cancellation of the first EASA licence. The process can take up to three months, depending on the states involved.

@ 500 above
Wrong, many BA pilots have trained outside of the UK. Oh, and "well obviously, or it wouldn't be a UK ATPL" is also wrong. One could have done the CPL in the UK, the IR in, say, Portugal,
Yeh?! Well, in their job adverts why do BA say - an ATPL which has been acquired in the UK then?
hmmm? got all the time in the world . . .

Which part are you having a problem understanding?
I too can confirm, that indeed, there are very many pilots within BA that have gained licences outside of the UK. Some recently have trained at Jerez, Spain. This, however would be under a UK FTO. Others have trained in New Zealand, Arizona, need I go on? These pilots still hold a UK issued EASA licence.
Other DEP's have come from a varied background. Once you have experience on JAR/FAR 25 types of aircraft and a higher TT, nobody cares where a licence was gained or issued.
