According to the flight schools, fees went from $540 to $38,000 a year to operate an aircraft, and that's just for touch-and-go landings.
On the one hand, I have trouble understanding why costs increased so dramatically in such a short time. On the other, knowing that one third of francophone pilots were trained there and that there is now a shortage of pilots, has it never occurred to you that these measures might have had something to do with it?
