It just ain't going to happen. Nobody cares what pilot's might pay to get their quals just like you couldn't care what a low salary plumber earns during his 4 year apprenticeship.
Why should the public care about that? Nothing to do with them, has no effect on them. Nobody cares. I'll say it again, nobody cares about your pay packets or ongoing expenses.

Call up A Current Affair or sixty minutes and bleat to them that you are a wannabe airline pilot and you feel it is a national disgrace that you have to fund your own profession and see what they say to you.

There is no story there, the journos know the lay of the industry, just like you knew when you fell for it to so live with it or get out of it. Go get a fully refunded cheap medical degree and make a few million putting in firm plastic hooters or something else worthwhile.

Pretty simple stuff really.
