I assume the question is rhetorical. But as there are no provisions that outline the process within the EASA regs, it is not allowed. Therefore such a procedure would necessitate an addition/amendment/supplement to EASA FCL which regulate such a conversion or license exchange based on a previous license.
if enough license holders petition the UK government, as previously suggested, then perhaps the UK can start to negotiate such an amendment or dispensation with the EU (EASA)?

UKCAA ATPL to EASA ATPL
Hi All.
Does anyone know the best country nowadays to "tranfer" / "convert" a UKCAA ATPL to an EASA ATPL?
I was told Malta was a good option but was made more difficult recently, any suggestions?
thanks

Amazing how many people still think this! If you passed your EASA ATPL exams whilst the UK was a member state then they are still valid. This is very well documented. If you passed your UK-only ATPL exams then yes, you're out of luck.

Depending on interpretation all UK CAA IRs ceased to be valid the day we left EASA, or 1 year later. Either way that still leaves until 2027/28 for ATPL validity. Anyone still moaning at that point needs a good shake.

For some unknown reason EASA member states are recognising ATPL exam validity for a a CPL / IR to be only 36 months from the last exam and not 7 years as it should be if you’ve already held an EASA IR. Its absolutely bonkers stuff.

I have found myself in this situation regarding the above validity for a conversion of a (F)ATPL. Understood they were to be accepted as passed regardless of validity and it transpires they need to have been passed in the last 36 months. Job offer on the table which requires an EASA licence so I have no choice than to sit the 14 EASA exams again, pass the same EASA IR exam and the same EASA CPL exam again.
