what you say is true, then there is effectively a 30% government subsidy for training FR pilots.
I'm guessing that all other Airlines who pay for their pilot's initial type ratings, recurrent training, hotels, meals etc etc etc write-off those costs against taxes on the basis that they are business expenses. Surely this is the same thing? These are legitimate expenses, hence they really ought to be tax-deductable?

Please explain to me why they shouldn't be: on a legal or moral basis, because I can't see why pilots who fly for Ryanair should be treated any differently to other pilots.
