To be or not to be, that is the question
With the numbers aspiring to fly at the moment, it is a bit like investing in a high risk share. Can you afford to lose the money invested?
Yes - continue : No - think very carefully about proceeding since there is no guarantee of employment.
That's the cautious answer.
The other side of the coin - outfits like Easy/Emirates are acquiring significant numbers of aircraft for their expansion plans.
If all goes according to plan, the Supply v Demand will tip in the favour of junior birdmen. If you feel lucky - go for it.
As ever, a personnal choice. Decide.

The term "junior birdmen" was a phase used by Sandy Thompson when I attended one of his ATPL short courses many moons ago in Booker. He had many cracking phases which had the course in fits of laughter.
