In four years time there might be some jobs but your skills will be so rusty and your IR so lapsed that it won't matter. You still won't get a job.
Even though I agree with 99.9% of WWW's comments, I think he is very optimistic with his 4 years estimate.

I personally would use the 2014 guide to START your flight training, hopefully the industry will prove me wrong, but I fear it wont.

In my opinion from 2016 onwards we will start to see a slow and steady recruitment drive from the airlines. I dont think we will see the 2005-7 recruitment levels return until the middle of the next decade (2025 ish).

Ryanair will be everybody's best bet for a job, even though their bubble will burst and they will stop recruiting for expansion within 2-3 years, as soon as the rest of the industry starts to pick they will loose their pilots extremely fast.

Good luck, and remember there is no rush! Get another job and watch the industry whilst saving.
