booking next years holidays with brexit coming

[Len Rum]

No, it doesn't. Because what they are saying is that should the EU decide to de-recognise safety certification, then it could, but since that would be a decision entirely without precedent globally, utterly moronic and totally vindictive for no good reason whatever, then that's not something to worry about especially.

It is stating what can be said about the US, Australia or anywhere else, that it is indeed possible to refuse to have any dealings with another country, and should someone effectively want to declare economic war, they can do.

So no, still not worried by worst case scenarios reliant on that declaration of war. OK?

Thank you.
So in your view it is theoretically possible although highly unlikely.
You didn't make that clear before.
Worth noting that others are less optimistic than you.

It's theoretically possible that the United States could do the same tomorrow morning too. It's theoretically possible that Canada might decide to ban all transactions in Sterling. Do you really want to go through the whole list of things that are theoretically globally possible in each and every discussion point?

Posts will get very long when everyone has to caveat the latest match result saying subject to the FA not banning City for the next century.

As for optimism or pessimism, I repeat what I said at the start, that the industry are sanguine about the whole thing and working on the basis that everything will continue, which doesn't mean they shouldn't remind all parties that they need to make sure it does. There's no reason to assume anything else, unless you believe the EU to be a vindictive protection racket out to start a war. You don't believe that do you?

If it is such a virtual impossibility and ridiculous to even contemplate why then have the government included it as a risk in their technical notices?

Ok, travel is my industry. I run my own business, I'm chairman of an industry trade body.

I can categorically assure you that bookings and flights for post March 2019 have been taken for months. There are no issues and no panic.

Airspace is not governed by the EU, only open skies is, and irrespective of deals or otherwise, it's business as usual, because none of your holidays are likely to involve issues such as sixth freedoms or free standing cabotage within the EU or cross border selling.

The idea that airspace would be denied is spectacularly idiotic, not least because it would entail the whole of the EU not being able to fly to the US and Canada for a start.

There are many issues about us leaving the EU, but this really is project fear stupidity, even before you get into the obvious things like Spain's economy collapsing without British tourism.

Book your holiday.

Good news and sounds entirely sensible - there are just a lot of people that seem to want to hear bad news for the UK

Edit to say - that since this post in reply to yours of a few pages ago I have seen that you have had to take part in 'one of those exchanges'.

Fair play to you for your patience. There are quite a few on here that - in their desperate EU sycophancy - just crave to hear of millennium bug level hysteria in every aspect.

They will not give it up I suspect until years after we have left. They just morph their arguments - twisting words about what people have said to try and score cheap points on the basis of pedantry.

FWIW - there are others on here that would thank you for the commonsense that you have posted - please try not to be discouraged from posting - that is what 'the pack' seek.

Surely if there was all this supposed chaos on the horizon it would be reflected in the plans and preparation - and in particular in the pricing of flights

I have recently booked flights to Cyprus for Easter and Summer holidays - I had been holding back hoping to see some prices come down - but they (as always) only ever seem to be going up

More they, they, they waffle with a mention of your next jollies thrown in. Only needed the 'I work for the government' line adding for mcfcwhatever bingo.

Yet more scaremongering rumbled. No issues with flights post brexit.

Good to know.
Oh sorry to ask - your knowledge on the subject is?

I don't remember flights being grounded as all the National Aviation Authorities ceded their oversight to EASA. I see no reason for it going the other way. Open Sky's does not require you to be in the EU. Licensing issues are already being dealt with. (You need an EASA license to operate an aircraft that is EU registered or a temporary endorsement as you would for aircraft not EASA registered. I've got a dozen of them in my drawer from the old days). Easy Jet has aircraft registered in many EU countries they just need to make sure their crews hold the correct licence. Uk pilots will be able to operate UK registered aircraft with their old EASA licence until it expires at which point they will be issued the same licence based on the same requirements with "EASA" removed from the Title.

It's project fear and arse covering by the airlines who wish to remain in EASA so they can carry on hiring cheap pilots from eastern europe in stead of putting some effort into training their own. There is a global shortage of pilots already and they fear they won't be able to cream the cheapest on the market anymore.
