There arent a lot of trainee pilots to go around. Super markets sell a lot cheap because we cant control either ourselves or our stomachs so we produce more people with ever larger stomachs and the supermarkets are happy.
The airlines control the supply and demand for pilots. There are a roughly fixed numbers of commercial students each year. Making it cheaper / easier will only create more unemployed pilots. There is nothing in your model for commercial fly training setups so they neither want to make "their" product cheaper or easier. In fact more expensive would suite them.
Of course i dont dispute the airlines would like cheap pilots, but the beaucrats arent about to slow down the gravy train because they have their own vested interest.
No but the chink in the armour is the private pilot. Lets face it other than the fbos everyone sees them as a bit of a nuisance, the sort that dont fit the model. Too be fair they dont fit the model and that is why their needs should be provided for in another way.
