"At what point do the politicians say enough is enough" are you havin' a laugh mate?
Ask yourself why training in Europe / UK is so much more expensive than training in the US. Sit down and figure the actual cost of flying a plane per hour.
Virtually every additional expense in Europe is due to either excessive taxation (particularly fuel tax and VAT), or else it's due to excessive intrusive pointless and eye-wateringly expensive EASA regulation, that barely differentiates between the smallest local flying club and the biggest legacy airline, in terms of the cost of regulatory compliance.
There is absolutely ZERO chance that the politicians will do anything to save you from your plight, for the simple reason that a huge chunk of the money you pay goes straight into their pockets.
