Mate, 'ow many plumbers, chippies, sparkies, or journos ave their training paid?
If I'm a builder's labourer an I wanna qualify as a builder who do ya reckon pays for it?
If I was a Knockabout Joe who wanted ta be a bus or truck driver, who do ya reckons gunna pay for the lessons?

All pilots are regarded as Silvertails, makin easy money buzzin around in the sky all day, not doin any physical hard work.
Don't matter that just about evry other skilled labour earns a sheetload more than most pilots ever dream of.
THAT would probly be a better one to start with - how much ya fork out for yer trainin, and the lousy salries ya get paid.
Most folks probly woulden believe it.
