I personally know of many people who have made it in the aviation industry some of whom are actually related to me. They have all worked and saved their money in order to pay for their respective training. Alternatively I could argue why some people take a shortcut and attempt to get loans at such a young age? I can understand the urgency for those of a somewhat older bearing to get on without any delay in training.
However I resent any government nay public involvement with the payment of training. Granted I'd more than love to invite any proposals which cut VAT off training (though the FTOs would only go and hike up the prices anyway). There is no such thing as a free lunch and any government assistance will come with a burden of 'giving something back in return'
