All IMVHO
If there's a successful vaccination program, (and that includes international recognition of such a vaccination):
Leisure travel will return fairly quickly, business travel not quite as quick, and perhaps never in the volume it was pre-Covid, which has implications for pilot recruitment.
So those who have a dream of soaring like a bird will at least be in with a shot of getting up at o'dark thirty to go off and fly an ILS into somewhere in the next 5-10 years...
The 100 k question however for those that are more financially driven and/or who see all this as an "investment" need to ask themselves is how long will it take T&Cs to recover to anything like pre-Covid levels...by that I mean pay, rostering, for long haul operators time of down route, quality of facilities down route....
..Because as someone posted on a parallel thread the shine does wear off and bills always need to be paid...
