So, in the EU, if you are not hired immediately straight out of flight school (for whatever reason), you either:
continue flying (increasing hours thus reducing your chances),
or stop flying (deteriorating your skills, and producing a gap in the logbook, also reducing your chances)?
So you have to be hired somewhere no matter what soon and fast, otherwise you are forked?
