The government should help in the same way they help other professionals (doctors etc)
Flogging a dead horse I fear - there are too few student pilots to make a difference, and robber Brown has made up his mind.
As for doctors - don't think they get off lightly - after 5 years of university fees, and not to mention the poor financial deal if you intercollate for one extra year on a masters (almost a prerequisite for better positions these days), I don't see F1s and F2s I know rolling in money.
