It is always worth a try. It is true that the actual growth will be less important than expected due to the 737 Max. They are going to close some bases for the winter season, and offer unpaid leaves to some pilots. It is also very well known that even when they are not recruiting (or when they only need a few people) they still call a lot of cadets for selection.
Indeed, as they charge you quite a lot of money for the assessment, the selection process is almost costless for the airline (some even say they make money out of it but I have to say I don't know...) so they don't really care about asking people to come.
A few months ago the whole 36 or 38 cadets of the week have been adjourned.
Don't tell me the 38 were unfit for the job...
So it is up to you, some still managed to pass regarding previous message. If you have 1000e for plane tickets, assessment, hotel and maybe sim refresh, then it is highly recommended to give it a try
