The industry is recruiting like hell and has been for a while. Your biggest problem is that we may well be at or near the top of the sine wave. Early 90’s recession, Sept 11th, Banking Crisis, all occurred with roughly ten year gaps. 2020 is ten years since the last recession ended. Several airlines are looking fairly wobbly and I can imagine the current European slowdown turning into a recession quite easily.
Its all about timing. Which is largely about luck!
Good luck,
