Foghorn
Congratulations on the IR, and I’m sorry that it’s such a rotten time for you to be looking for your first flying job.
However the large number of retirements that the major UK airlines are facing over the next few years (as their senior pilots reach compulsory retirement age) are a fact of life, and so, sooner or later, someone will be recruiting!
Hang in there, and good luck with the job hunting!
Best wishes,
