Tscottme,

pilots staying at home and pressuring
their governments to ease cost/access to flight training

Pilots? Pressuring governments? What world do you live in? That doesn't
even
work in the US.



Imagine if Germany and Japan's choice
was to go without pilots or make reasonable accomodations to permit
adequate
flight training at home.


Nobody needs GA pilots. The training of professional pilots in Germany and
Japan is well established - and set up completely independent of GA.


Bull****...

Here in Arizona, you seemingly can't swing an A&P by his extension cord
without hitting a Piper with the blue and yellow of Lufthansa on it.

The "Boys (and Girls) From Berlin" are major participants in the GA system
of the western United States.

So too, I believe, are pilots training for SAS (the airline, not the British
Military.)
