Even if the industry did recover and start recruiting in 2 years (which is highly unlikely IMHO) what makes people think that with their new 250hrs fATPL they would be at the front of the queue. You will be up against experienced pilots with 1000's of hours as a result of all the redundancies.
It could be years before 250hr pilots start getting hired so why the rush to get it all done in 18 months? I just dont get it
