A few silly statements on this subject in this thread.
Why should artisits, accountants, lawyers and any other number of courses be subsidised by the Government, yet flight training is not ?. Most of the courses are geared towards training for the private sector.
I'll also bet that most people that go through Uni and thus enjoy the subsidised education and training they receive don't end up working for the state, most will end up in the private sector so why should Pilots be any different ?.
I'll hazard a guess that there are also significant numbers who don't even end up taking jobs in the field that they did their courses in which would be unlikely for a pilot to do.
