Just to add my 2c.

Don't give up! Hate to say it, but it's going to be a minimum of 2-3 years before the airlines will be recruiting again. In the mean time, try and keep current, network and try anything to get some hours.

This crises will eventually be forgotten, and the public will fly again. By this time, lots of pilots will have retired, moved to other professions, and lets be honest, who in their right mind is going to enter pilot training for the next few years? End result, after the carnage of the next few years, I think we're being set up for a large shortage in maybe 4-5 years. We were already experiencing one when this hit, and that was with schools throwing out hundreds of pilots. Don't misunderstand me, airlines are going to go lay pilots off (I most likely included), airlines are going to go under, and at the moment its horrible timing. But don't give up! And probably more important, don't be drawn in by the aviation sharks that will be swimming very soon trying to sell hours etc.
