Agree.
COVID is a nail in the coffin for aspiring pilots and the job. If you were young enough you’d be mad not to get out and get a decent career with stability somewhere else.
Do something else. Pilots can be redundant or furloughed at the drop of the hat with no where to go.
In any other job or industry you can simply move to many other companies or roles. It’s Not an option in aviation.
Cadet programs and training in general will die off for a long time. Just is common sense unfortunately.
