The vast majority of redundant pilots will be waiting for the first opportunity to get back flying.
from general conversation, seemingly not this time. Many have actually used their redundancy packages to fund a new vocation, skill set. Building trade seems to feature heavily for some reason.

Yes, there will of course be Cadets that will slot in to the RHS for nothing, or next to. But enough in the interim to satisfy the bigger LCC, a blue and yellow one springs to mind - I think not. The numbers will not sustain future expansion plans in the short to medium term. The salaries for experienced or not will be dire for some time, agreed. This is what is heavily driving the thinking currently I would suggest.
