maybe you should go for it, but don't put all of your eggs in one basket. A good pilot always leaves him/herself a way out/or an alternative.
If you don't get the EZY scheme, or similar, then you will just have to do it the other way, like most of us, and pay for your own training outright, with no sponsorship/ties/guraenteed job/whatever.
Im sure accountants get a good wage, save up for a while and go for it! Maybe in South Africa (NB, im not an expert on the South African job market), it's cheaper there, and you will have the right to work. But I wish you all the best, I know how it fels living under the flight path, and always looking up and wishing I was flying!!
All the best mate, hope it works out, good luck :-)
