I don't think there is a good definite answer to this question, because I can make a reasonable case for two different letters.

The letters in odd positions go A, E, I, O, ...
The letters in even positions go Z, B, Y, ...

The next position is an even position, so we need to find the next letter in the sequence Z, B, Y, ...

Maybe this sequence alternates between counting from the end of the alphabet, and counting every second letter from the beginning. Under this interpretation, the next letter would be 'D'.

Or maybe this sequence alternates between counting from the end of the alphabet and counting from the beginning, but it skips the vowels. (This seems somewhat reasonable because the vowels are all included in the other interleaved sequence, and Y is usually considered to be a consonant.) Under this interpretation, the next letter would be 'C'.

Following Occam's Razor (the simplest solution should be the correct one), I would have to go with 'D'. But "Find the next letter"-type problems annoy me because they sometimes admit more than one reasonable interpretation of the pattern (as, in my opinion, this one does).

"D" after that would be "U"

It alternates AEIOU

and inbetween that the letters would be Z... B... Y... D... X... F...
