I'm also sorry to hear your situation.
If I were him, I'd be looking to transfer the MPL to a frozen ATPL, likely get some hours in by instructing, and applying for every Cadetship going. It will happen, it may sadly just be a while. Captain here, but I've just lost a job offer (but luckily hadn't handed in my notice yet), so fully understand your frustration..
Following qualification and before getting a job, I worked several jobs. It took about 2 years for me to find something, and I was training during 2001, so hopefully under worse circumstances than now.
