Without taking sides about whether people ought to get grants from an individual "fairness" point of view, the excess of supply vs. demand for pilots suggests the position is not likely to get better.
I do sympathise with the point about uni students getting loans. When I was a lad, never mind a loan, I got a grant to go to university. And some of my friends got paid by BA to learn to fly at Hamble. You may think I was lucky, but I was so jealous of them. And if you want an ATPL now you've got to pay for it. A couple of friends of mine have got their fATPLs in the last year or two after working for years to save up enough to pay for it (no rich parents), but both are still looking for jobs. I know, life isn't fair.
Well, the best of luck to anyone aiming on a career on the flight deck, but you'd better have a Plan B.
