A number of my friends are out of jobs, and those that are finishing training at CAE and L3 no job to go into, those with conditional offers have been terminated or on the odd occasion furloughed indefinitely (but may still lose their job). At least one of my friends is concerned about going bankrupt due to the cost of training and possibly no job for a few years. I seriously hope you wouldn't want a high risk of ending up in their boat, it is not good for your health...

This isn't exaggeration and is the real deal. Push past the Marketing and ask CAE what is really going on. It must be realised that pilot training is just an investment and has fairly high variability in risk levels. Wait it out, aviation is at a make or break point, It isn't a race to the flight deck, without a job to go to an ATPL is literally only a 100k fancy piece of paper issued by the regulator.

For now, Go do a PPL, Go Gliding, Do anything but sink large amounts of money to a crumbling airline industry...
