I apogolize up front, but this post reads very "spoiled brat". Define "nearest future"?
I got my license right around 9/11 in 2001 and spent +4 years looking for a first job (had an engineering degree so I managed to keep licences "alive"). There have been people who have lost their job due to COVID, but from the moment there was the slightest hint of improvement they were hired, and they now cruising around 777s in a legacy carrier. Not because recovery is fast, but because experience to fill these positions is becoming a rarity on the market. Once experience starts to move seats, the door is wide open. And these doors open pretty much overnight. All you have to do is hang on.
It's not because you have to try for a year, it is a disaster. It is a normal wait. But the door will open.
