It's all very well investigating the individuals concerned, but in the case of BRK, how about actually investigating the businesses behind it? I don't choose to be self employed by an organisation that wants to have its cake and eat it, but I do reserve the right to take advantage of the system that I am unwillingly a part of. My accountant sees to it that I pay the absolute bare minimum tax that I can get away with. I'm quite happy with that - the state goes out of its way (in the UK) to profit as much as possible from aviation training and then wants a kickback when my personal investment of time, money and effort is paying off.
If tax authorities have a problem with this - kick Ryanair, not the pilots.
