Hamwhoeveryouare , my point to this thread was that EI/HRSDC should not be involved in this fools errand of subjectively funding pilot remployment. There are more than enough unemployed pilots who have worked hard , saved , scrimped , worked dead end jobs on ramps , loading airplanes ,flying !!!! airplanes for !!!! operators in !!!! conditions , etc , etc and paid for their training themselves without the government adding to the already overfilled pilot resume pool by subsidizing those that quite simply can`t afford it. Sure it would be nice if every little kid that wanted to be a pilot got to live their dream and wear the nice uniform and hat , but the reality is that most don`t have the financial means , aptitude , work ethic , stubborness and tenacity that is required to be a professional aviator in todays world.
What future tax benefits are you referring to ? Do you really think those recieving any funds are nothing more than a statistic ? Governments are in the business of getting elected , re-elected and staying in power , don`t be so altruistic.
I am a pilot , and unlike you I can spell too.
