Of course I don’t plan to look for jobs in the UK atm until this situation clears up. Few months or a few years maybe, I just like to plan ahead.
Stay in the US and do your EASA ATPL, I believe you can just sit the exams without any ground school and only a sim check on type is needed if you have 500 MPA. The US airlines have much bigger support from the government and the retirements coming up. In the meantime you can watch the market in the UK and jump ship if something better comes up. Good luck.
