very interesting question

The facts to research should be:

- how many licensed ATPL’s exist and how many are in employment
​​​​​​- how many airframes are on order and how many orders have been cancelled
​​​​​- what is the UN’s objective from the cop26 climate change summit
​​​​- insurance companies’ current and future approach to virus cover
- the extent of quantitative easing and the impact upon the value of the £
- which airlines are making unsustainable losses and how many pilots they employ
- the level of investment being made into virtual connectivity
- the level of investment being made into aviation

Once you’ve gained a reasonable background knowledge of these key influencers the answer will be black and white, even if it’s not the answer you, or I, want to hear.

I will leave personal opinion out of this reply as I very much respect your position and genuinely hope that you make the right decision.

very informative reply. I have always wondered about the first point"- how many licensed ATPL’s exist and how many are in employment?"

how do you find that information say for UK? Thank you
