Remove VAT on air pilot training

What the petition asks
The Government should exempt pilot training from VAT like other forms of vocational training.
Normally, training courses are zero-rated for VAT. However, VAT is charged on pilots training, which can be one of the most expensive forms of education. This is highly unfair to the students especially as they do not have jobs so many struggle to pay it in the first place. By removing the vat, it allows for cheaper training for the students.
