Thanks, that's what I am currently doing, building some PIC hours but still learning (so much more to learn still!) next to a CPL pilot who acts as a safety pilot. My idea was to keep progressing through time building until 200h approx, whilst studying ATPL theory on my own. Both things are very time consuming, specially having a FT job in a different field, which is my case. If I can achieve this in 1-2 years time, hopefully the job market and industry are a bit better than now, and a clearer picture of Covid consequences may be seen? Before Covid-19 many people told me that 200h experience or so was enough to get into a carrier as entry level/FO, but after this crisis I bet this number will be not enough... On top of this I am in my mid 30s, so many uncertainties at the moment, but trying to keep positive...
