Again, it's a hard one because I don't know your full circumstances. ie how much money you need to live on and so forth. I am currently working part time doing night ops for a small night freight company. They are pretty busy so I should start flying sooner than later.
As you know, the UK is exy and I personally would hate to have to feed someone else as well.
Why don't you do the ATPL's distance learning? (if you haven't done them already?) That limits your exposure to unemployment. You ought to be able to knock them off in around 12 months or so and the market should be much better.
