Coronavirus employment low on its way?

Hi all,

This is my first post here but I have been reading pprune for a while now.

I'm currently in the middle of my ATPLs and due to finish them in May and thereafter my CPL MEIR in October.

Definitely starting to get apprehensive about how the employment situation is developing. I am seeing airlines such as Flybe struggling and Lufthansa grounding aircraft because of the lack of recent bookings due to the Covid-19 scare. Brexit uncertainty isn't helping and no one knows when the 737 Max is returning to service!

I guess I am simply looking for opinions on the situation. Do you think it is a good idea to start my CPL MEIR this year (June)? Or finish off my ATPLs and leave the remainder of my training until the outlook has become less bleak? I am hesitant to delay my training as I am in a good situation financially and personally at the moment.

Thanks!
