Out of all the fATPL holders last year I would estimate 50% were getting airline employment. Maybe 25% instructing/air taxi/corporate etc And 25% no jobs in flying.

At the moment, and for the next few years we are talking about maybe 5% at best of fATPL holders getting airline employment. Thats 1 in 20. Now, you need to ask youself what makes you that 1:20 statistic - because 95% of you wont be getting a RHS first officer position.
A 1:2 ratio chance of getting a job during good times??? I assumed it was something like 1:20-1:50! And ~1:200 during bad times! (And i mean all pilot jobs in Europe, not only RHS on a JET). Edit: Maybe excluding FI jobs.

I hope that you are correct and i'm really wrong.

I haven't started my training yet. I'm still planning and have for the past 5 months. Modular however is the only option for me.
