There are an unknown number of guys/girls with a B737 rating with many 1000,s of hrs following the demise of sterling,xl, futura etc all looking for work. Even if you do some kind of deal and clock up a few hundred hrs (like a ryanair deal even?) how will that help you?. Sooner or later you will want to move on/return to the UK and you will be up against these pilots. Be patient. We are all in this together.
