Fair enough, the pilots to whom you refer are working in the industry and more than entitled to their opinion, which is exactly what this is - opinion. What makes their opinion any more valid than those who are saying "at the moment, most definitely do NOT go for it"?
Did they elaborate on why exactly they think it's a good time to start training, other than having seen this proverbial 'cycle' before?

Actually in my airline it's quite good. People are still flying, load factors are high, sales are good and people are just getting on with the job at hand.
