I am paying a fortune to put my kids through university, for example to become a vet! Nobody is going to help me pay for my kids qualification and if they don't have it they wont get the job.
Thats right Suitcaseman, nobody is going to help you pay for your kids education. Sorry. And no, they cant do the job they want to do without proper minimum qualification either. However you are not comparing apples with apples in your analogy.
Guys who go to OAA or CTC etc... are also paying for their initial training, just like you are paying for your kids education. However when your kids get into employment there is a fair chance they wont be asked to pay another £20K+ to become basic compliant with the new companies' equipment. Will they? In fact they will probably be earning as well...
Lets not confuse industry specific issues. The P2F scheme and SSTR is, at the costs asked, unique to aviation.
