That's like worrying that you are leaving out potentially good doctors because medical education is expensive, leaving out attorneys because law education is expensive, leaving out good master chefs because french chef school is too expensive. Those people should have a "chance", but it's not the same chance that someone that comes from a family of money has. That's reality and you can't "even" that out. The opportunities exist in the form of the military and REALISTIC scholarships (not ones that cover 1/10th of the cost and entice you to get loans for the other 9/10ths), and simply working hard for a long period of time. If you want to lower the bar so everyone can afford to be a pilot, don't be surprised when the wages are rock bottom and you get the ranks filled with the guys that are happy to fly for free. I don't think you can have it both ways. Barriers to entry will all exist and there's a difference between barriers (get 2-3 jobs, get in military, get in a high-earning industry to jump-start and save funds for flying, spend a longer amount of time working, etc) and blockades (not letting a certain race be a commercial pilot, being too old, etc).
