Sadly, it is right. Starting training now is risky. I did it and I was lucky to find a job within a year but would I do it again if I had to? My answer is no. Way to risky. I often say it is like playing poker.
On the other hand, if you don't try, you will never know the answer. Is that really something you want to do? If you answer is yes, I would suggest that you try to apply to airlines that provide cadet training like KLM, BA, Air France, etc.
If you decide to try, be always sure to have an alternative option.
Good luck!
