Apparently EU-27 are very keen to continue fishing in the UK.

So, whatever happens in the next few days to 31st December, the rules on the use of EASA Licences in UK is interesting (limited to 2 years use in UK) and also I find it interesting that those who have opted for 'foreign' Licences can almost immediately apply for UK licences again!
What are your thoughts on licensing?

With the nice oral board as well I wager. I kept my licence as CAA. Two Brexiteers I knew that changed theirs have bugged out of the industry now due to Covid. End of the day, those with either can work where they want, as long as the country they are in allows them to. That is the question. I suspect the guys at NWI will need both for obvious reasons.

According to the briefings - its all semi-automatic - in the same way as the transfer to EU licences. If your EASA Licence expires in UK and you apply to the CAA you will automatically get a UK part 66 licence - not another nationality’s. You can, of course, hold both licences as you can also hold an FAA A&P...but you have to pay for them.
Not all the guys at NWI will need them...just four I recon.

More than 4 C Certs. Anyone working the line maint side would need it (for AOGs and when the holiday flight maint cover). Any tech can be called across the VCP. I should know, I saw enough of them do so as they walked past my old office. Personally it is the other shite that will go with AOGs or work in the EU. Medical cover etc that I will refuse to go unless I have company insurance cover. I saw the hassle one of the guys I worked with at NWI had a medical issue in the EU as he didn't have an EHIC. Personally I am done with the whole subject. We will find out in the next few years if it was a wise choice or a complete custer.
