Cadet training costs: At which point do the politicians say "enough is enough"?

I've seen the latest cadet programme offering by one particular airline comes in at nearly £125k plus living expenses. Amazingly, the general public seem to be largely ignorant of the training costs, their best understanding being "it's expensive".

At what point do the airlines get so few quality applicants that they have to reduce training costs or make funding available (I'm aware BA couldn't fill their FPP the other year even with funding)? At what point do the politicians turn around and start regulating how much can actually charged?
