But like many of the others say on this forum in many posts of late, if you're a Brit in flight training there has not been a situation as bleak as this in a long while.
I was lucky, I landed a job during the initial slow down in recruitment back in 2018 but unlike several threats before it, Covid-19 is actually grounding and preventing airlines flying. As of today Italy is even locking down it's cities. If you're a modular trainee perhaps delay your CPL/ME/IR a while to save yourself unnecessary expense. I know it's painful to hear, but you'd want the best prospects out of the other end.
Take the lowest risk.
All the best,
Hi gbotley,
I am aware of just how up in the air the whole situation is right now, or rather not.
I am a modular student but I wonder if there is any real point in delaying my training until a later date; after all, that would be wasted time where I could be potentially looking for a job. I may be missing something however, is there more to it than just keeping my ratings valid and current?
Thanks
