We now exactly the situation, and it's useless to add anything else.
Just a little consideration:
When the market picks up again, (maybe a day with a vaccine, with less restrictions / quarantines / lockdowns), the demand will require, of necessity, airplanes and crews.
How can an airline recover without flying ?
This will be gradually of course.
The today's leading low-cost companies are trying to conquer the globe, by expanding, even with empty planes, as an investment for the future, opening new bases and routes.
This strategy is definitely based on recovering earlier and better than the competitors, but in order to actualize it, again, pilots will be needed; so I assume we would not need to wait the "peak" again.
I'm absolutely not saying that there will be a shortage soon, but of course at least a gradual redistribution sooner than 2024, I guess.
