Student loans for pilot training

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Discuss solutions to make pilot training more affordable and accessible for all. Enquire into offering student loans to those wishing to undertake pilot training with the aspiration of a pilot career
I believe the government and parliament should address this topic. As they offer loans for those who wish to broaden their knowledge at university and pilot training should be know different it makes a desirable career more accessible for all.

Pilot careers also offer well paid salaries meaning the government would be highly likely to have the loans or student finance repaid in 5-10 years maximum
