Right now, hardly any opportunities exist even for rated and highly experienced pilots. Most companies don't even accept applications any longer as hundreds of unneeded CVs represent no value in times like this. And, unfortunately, that will most probably be the case until late 2020 or early 2021 in the most optimistic scenario. And even then, there will be far less openings than candidates for quite a while. So, for now, almost every deal is a good one. Especially considering that a pilot salary reduced by 20% will still be more than what you are likely to get in any of the ground jobs you can realistically get without relevant experience. I wouldn't worry too much about the prospects into 2025 right now. Whenever things pick up and alternative, better-paid opportunities start coming up and cause a mass exodus of everyone considering themselves underpaid, T&Cs will inevitably be reviewed towards more favorable ones. It has happened a number of times, it will happen again.
