EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

And companies would be dealing with it all, at once, on multiple fronts. It wouldn't be a flight operator only having to worry about the flying bit of Brexit.

They'd be dealing with new flight regulations. With new permits at all their destinations. With new customs regulations for stuff they're carrying. With new insurance rules, varying by country flying to / from. With the energy / fuel markets to get their fuel futures sorted. With new working regulations rules for their non uk pilots / crew (and their UK pilots / crew at the other end). With new immigration procedures for their customers on board.

And each of the providers for all that stuff, is also having to deal with their own massive list of change so doesn't have any guidelines for what the flight operator is meant to do...

I don't know anything about flying, so there's probably more. I can imagine the IT team that has to add new landing processes (whatever they are) to every single airport in the world into safety critical software...

"ooh, 3 months investigation, 3 months requirements, 6 months build, 3 months testing, 2 months parallel run. It'll be a lot harder right now, as the contractors for this piece of software are busy working at every single one of our competitors at the minute etc"

and that's only one little bit.

It just goes on and on, and none of it is decided. It's the main reason that I keep clinging to the fact that Brexit won't happen in any meaningful way.
