For those with a CPL or fATPL awaiting to find their first job how much are you flying? Just the essential to keep current or as much as possible according to your financial?
Just for curiosity...

You should fly as much as financially reasonable in these times of uncertainty. Keep your IFR skills as sharp as possible. Don't just trundle round the local area but do procedural flying and concentrate on your accuracy.

While you may have a very long wait for an interview or assessment it would be gutting to fall at the first hurdle simply because you are out of practice.

This is where having an instructors ticket (with an instructing job) comes in as at least someone else is paying.

Don't let your skills lapse.

dont forget using simulators for keeping your IFR sharp, cheaper than planes and more useful in setting up different approaches at different locations.
