Government response to "student pilot" petition.

[philc1983]

Did we really expect any other outcome?

The whole petition was unrealistic in my book. The only element i thought may have been considered was the VAT exemption or even a reduction on courses. However why would the government want to throw all that money away? Was there ever any great incentive for them to do so given the pressure for a 'greener environment' and to curb public spending. This would have been a red rag to a bull for the environmental lobbyists with the government openly and actively supporting the devil that is aviation. Why it would have been in the same vein as funding terorism.
