I think what Xeptu was eluding to is should we open up and get on with it!

There is a greater chance of pilots getting a case of COVID-19 that will cause a loss of their medical (for life) - He/She however no longer requires a class 1 medical, so being able to maintain one is not relevant to them any longer.

On the other hand current pilots may need to figure what other type of work they might wish to do for the next 30-60 years as flying will no longer be an option (with no medical).

Another 4-5 years of uni with another education bill to repay on top of the pilot loan - while starting at the bottom when they get employed in the new role.

It just might be wiser to allow a year or three for the current flying work to regain pre covid levels (as broadly predicted) than start a new career (that based on time and cost of a reasonable replacement career only).
