I appreciate the advice.

Out of interest, what would be the downside of doing my CPL and ATPL exams over the next year or so?

My current career has completely evaporated thanks to Covid and I'm desperate for something new to stop me going out of my mind with boredom! (I'm lucky in that I have no commitments and my partner earns a good salary which means I don't have to worry about getting work)

​​​​​​If I did my training over the next 12 months, but then had to hang about for a year or so before an airline job arrived, would that be a problem? Wouldn't I just have to do enough hours to keep current or do airlines only look at cadets who have recently finished their training?
