UK Based Airlines are saying up yours to Boris and Shapps, by using a post Brexit loophole to employ E/U workers again and are operating flights with E/U crews without British visas, as airlines have to grapple with staff shortages caused because of Brexit.They are Borrowing/leasing E/U registered a/c so they can circumvent post Brexit immigration rules.
Should think all those people spending hours and hours in queues at airports wish they hadn't voted for Brexit now.

Grant Shapps has said No!.... to requests from airlines,airports,and ground handling companies to allow E/U workers into the UK to ease staffing problems, that has caused misery for families at airports. ...think Grant Shapps needs staffing.

Why would there be spare EU airline workers to come here to do the job gulliver when there aren't enough airline staff in EU countrys. The problem is worldwide following the layoffs during covid.

The problems are worldwide but when it it comes to a solution that’s where we suffer

It's not a brexit loophole. Airlines have been subchartering flights to cope with operational problems for decades.

11.21 It is a Brexit loophole though, because Brexit hasn't been around for decades ? .
