The UK Government should provide financial aid solutions for future pilots

Petition Details

A major factor driving fewer people to take up the career is the cost of training. Aspiring pilots, who aren’t able to secure a place on the limited number of airline sponsored training schemes, need to find large sums of money to pay for their own training costs which can be upwards of £100,000.
