Flight training takes on average 2 years, and it's impossible to predict what can happen in two years.
This Coronavirus scaremongering is, in my opinion, over exaggerated and I think that in 3 to 4 months most of the public will have forgotten about it. And I see that at the moment Stobart Air and a few other airlines have put up ads for low hour cadets. Including my employer.

It is however true that we're heading for a recession if we look at the historical cycles over the last 30 years.

And then there is still the MAX grounded. Its return to service will only be a positive thing for recruitment.

I am always going to advocate modular training. As somebody said you could work towards your PPL and ATPL in distance learning and keep your job. You can manage the time as you wish and then go to a very good ATO to get your CPL and MCC.
