UK ATPL job prospects

Hi everyone!

I've currently sat 4 ATPL exams with the UK CAA but now having serious doubts as to whether it's worth carrying on. Disregarding the covid situation and its effect on the immediate job prospects, what chance does a person with a freshly minted UK ATPL license have at getting a foot in the door to an airline now that the UK has left EASA?

In previous years Ryanair, Wizz, Easyjet and Flybe were the main employers for low hour pilots. Now the first three require an EASA license and the latter no longer exists. And the fact a EASA license holder can fly G-reg aircraft makes the UK license pretty much worthless. The whole sitation seems one sided towards EASA.
