Impossible to say.

It's a combo of luck, right place and time, knowing the right people and having the ability and knowledge to pass an interview / selection.

I know people who went straight into a jet cockpit even in the worst months of the current crisis - and others who probably wouldn't manage to get in if the airlines would be recruiting like mad.

Don't spend too much time on PPrune really, and don't give too much weight on what people say here. Work towards your own goal, speak to real people - will help you a lot more than just hanging out here all day.

BTW: Tons of people say the market is dead and there are no jobs all year long, yet people still make it into cockpits. Even without paying a ****load of money to Ryanair.

You may not get a gig without relocating, or maybe not even in your own country, but if you're willing to put in work, you'll make it.
