The clock starts ticking once the first sitting occurs, and as we don’t know when ‘midnight’ might be, you probably need to delay that clock starting.

Full time job now, and ideally do the necessary without incurring debt. Class One Medical issued?

Gentle hour building, IR(R), night rating, QCC and once the green shoots have firmly established, write the exams, followed by the modular CPL/IR courses.

Just bear in mind, when airlines talk about recovering etc, that is not talking about active recruitment. Retirements will be more frequent than expansion.

Confidence and ‘circulation of money‘ are the essential drivers for recovery.
