Yes richard000,
I expect in 2 years time, there would be 300 plus swimming in sh1t. (24 months X 14 per month approx).
Even if the industry does pick up in 2 years (which it won't), there will still be a back log. Write this year off and start training next year.
If you are that desperate to start in 5 minutes time, then I can only offer two pieces of advice:
1. Have 30K spare so you can start with a certain Irish airline as soon after finishing
2. If that is not an option, make sure you have a back up plan for 1 year+ straight after training. (i.e repayments and a job - but with enough money to keep yourself current).
