Agree.
Unfortunately I guess there is not much to smile for. When airlines will restart somehow to hire, there will be a huge supply excess and it does not take fancy economists to realize that oversupply will lead to ridiculous terms&conditions.
Many of us will have no recent flights over the past 2+ years and will accept anything to add a few fresh hours in the logbooks. Apparently some operators are already studying this project, and could eventually end up offering some "return to work" offers for all levels of experience, where You basically fly for free, be it as a Captain or F/O, just to get Your currency back. Multiply that for hundreds of unemployed pilots and You can easily end up covering an almost normal 2022 summer season for peanuts.
