In my case, fingers crossed then that in 5-10yrs there will be companies willing to subsidize people who are willing to train for their commercial licence and have a job lined up if successful.
In my opinion the above is another reason why the lack of way through to CPL/ATPL without a cheaper path will also impact PPL/GA because most think it too expensive, not worth it, simply not interested or generally cannot afford it!
But i really to believe if their was a certified subsidized career path there would be a fairly noticeable increase in PPL's.
