ScottFlyer, you know that is a ridiculous analogy, in more ways than one. What exactly is the point you attempt to make with it? If I'm correct what you're saying is that, despite the lack of jobs and oversupply of out-of-work pilots in the industry, it's a good idea to start training anyway just in case, by chance, you find a job? How can you compare trying to have a baby with spending upwards of £75k on training to be a pilot?!
Perhaps you should have a chat to some of the guys sitting in the hold pool until next spring at the very earliest, and even then with a high degree of uncertainty about their situation. SW1's "peep show" observation absolutely hits the nail on the head.
