My 2 cents,
no bone in it but!
the UK GDP now has nothing to do with GDP post Brexit.
the UK GDP now is because of the EU whether you like it or not!
I sincerely hope UK GDP will sustain after Brexit, but sadly the signs are not good. That is based on numerous indicators.
Disclaimer amateur investor talking.

We actually get a whole lot of benefits from being a member, rather than just the raw fiscal numbers you quote.
The CBI estimates that the net benefit of EU membership is worth 4-5% of GDP to the UK, or £62bn-£78bn per year. In 2014, the ONS reported that the EU, which is the world's biggest economy, accounted for 44.6 per cent of all UK exports of goods and services, and 53.2 per cent of the UK's imports of goods and services.

Fairly negative thread drift into should we stay or go. Think most of the comments belong in the other forums - keep this channel open for hard facts / informed opinions on how airline ownership will or will not be affected post Brexit and, I guess, its potential consequence for us involved with it.Looks like we have nine months grace in any case....

However, just 7 months for airline ownership. 9 months for licenses and approvals. 12 months for traffic rights. All of that can be revoked unilaterally by the EU, it is granted, not a right. It is basically the EU protecting its own interest, and those do not necessarily have to align with a third country that reneges on internationally binding agreements.

UK medical on EASA ops.
Slight drift.
The IAA has confirmed a process whereby they will issue a replacement Irish medical certificate which will become valid in case of a no-deal Brexit.
The next medical has to be with a EU approved AME.
After a hard Brexit any UK AME can apply for EASA approval.
Good to see at least someone has a plan!
Cudos to IAA

The point being, that 1/28 is little influence, and as the EU continues on it’s further integration plans, this factor will diminish.
It is amazing how other countries succeed outside the EU (Norway and Switzerland come first and second in the Legatum Prosperity Index), we should stop selling ourselves short, consider the opportunities, and try it.
Apologies for thread creep, back to the aviation.....

Further integration will not diminish the influence of the EU parliament, quite the contrary. And before you say 'Germany rules anyway', do make notice of the recent decision on Nord Stream II, which says any future negotiations shall be between Russia and the EU, rather between Russian and individual EU nations. This was decided much to the consternation of Germany but, vitally, it removes a strategic advantage from Russia, as they are no longer able to manipulate individual nations by playing them against the other. Nor can they threaten to cut off the supply to a single nation (expensive but affordable if there's strategic value to it), as such an act would mean they'll have to cut off all of Europe (equal to signing their own economic death warrant).
As for the success of Norway and Switzerland; one is a nation of 4,5 million people sitting on the largest gas reserves in Europe. The other has centuries of tradition for neutrality and a safe place for rich people to park their money. Do try buying a beer and burger in Norway, or booking a hotel room in Geneva, then get back to us.

Have done both actually, and similar to London prices!
Both countries have the financial freedom to apply whatever measures are relevant to their own individual economies, unlike those in the euro, such as Greece for example.

I note the "relatively" - care to share the address??? 
Norway - always either bloody expensive or outrageously expensive - but if you have so much energy to sell........

See European Commission - PRESS RELEASES - Press release - Brexit: European Commission implements ?no-deal? Contingency Action Plan in specific sectors under Transport.

I am concerned that gov.uk might forget to respond. It does have a lot to do, and too little time, in the event of no deal.

It is not yet put into law or a concrete letter to stakeholders, but it is a proposal by the EU Commission and therefore is very likely to be implemented.

Unless i missed something, I’m not sure pilot licences are covered by the EC proposal you mentioned.
this is the annex attached for aviation
https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info...ects-annex.pdf
I can’t find anything else about pilot licences or certificates related to EU 1178/2011 (aircrew regulation - annex I to IV).

Hmm, I have to say up til now i mainly did read the press releases on this issue. The only thing i can find is Article 9 in https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info...nnectivity.pdf, where it states that licenses and certificates of competency will still be valid, however only for the use within UK airlines. Which is of course a concern for those working in the EU on UK licenses. Which might be a reason why the orange bunch switched their european based pilots to austrian licenses (except german nationals who stay on german licenses).
