Best of luck to you pal, what a crappy time to try to get into aviation.
Bit shocked at some of the responses you’ve got to be honest, we’ve all been dead keen wannabe aviators at some point, and the amount of money you need to recoup won’t help.

The reality is tho, you’re gonna struggle to get into any major airline anytime soon, anywhere in the world.

I have a mate who’s son recently finished his ATPL and had a start date with a major european airline, but has been unceremoniously dumped from them. I have other mates who have been canned from a large middle eastern airline, and are now struggling to get a job driving an Amazon prime van.

Bottom line, right now the demand for pilots is being massively outstripped by the supply of them, many with a lot of big jet experience.

I genuinely wish you all the best, but you’re gonna have to be patient unfortunately. As has been said already, take any flying job you can get in meantime.
