You make an interesting point re the politics' and "left of centre" but the irony of this is that by pursuing a development of pilots paying up front for everything increasingly excludes people from "average" income family backgrounds ever becoming pilots, because this development together with P2F we are increasingly seeing people from the bank of Mum & Dad, in other words if you or your family isn't monied forget it, when was the last time you saw an Asian or Black pilot cadet, its becoming more and more a white elite which is turning the clock back 30 years on the progress made on merit rather than money or family post RAF
