Wealthy
If there is a shortage then the market will sort it out.. i.e the sponsorship deals will return...the much heralded pilot shortage is often stated to make the case in the media for people to start to train (an advertising ploy) but in the case of BALPA it makes sense for them to canvas for employers to train because the whole pilot training is becoming available only to the wealthy - the tax thing has always been an issue and that would help ...
The politicians see this (pilot traing) tax revenue as a tax on the wealthy (its seen as progressive) They dont understand that many are borrowing to do this ... and are NOT wealthy...
