Everyone above is right.
You never know what the best time to start piloting is because nobody can predict two years in the future.
We all live in hope. Nobody who started in 2015 or 2016 knew that the job market when be booming when they finished. Nobody who started in 2000 knew 9/11 would happen.
CV may fizzle out to nothing; or it may cause a short recession and in two years the economy is booming meaning lots of jobs; or it may cause a long deep recession and slash international travel meaning bankrupt multiple airlines and no jobs; or maybe something else.
The other big one is the Max. It may/ will (is that too risky?) re-enter service causing a surge in demand for pilots eventually.
