At the top of this page I posted a table which shows that previous severe economic crisis have house prices taking 5 years to reach their nadir.

I'd take house prices as a reasonable proxy for airline profitability and aim to be job hunting 5 years from the start of the house price crash. Which would be Sept 2012. Three and a half years from now to graduation. Start an Integrated therefore in 2 years time at the earliest. Start modular now but don't do a Multi, IR or ATPL exam for a couple of years.

Its not a brilliant, deeply reasoned plan but its something to hang your hat on.

The trick is not to acquire the time-expiring and expensive elements of your training too soon before the chance of a job becomes reasonable.
