Is there any kind of list that tracks these pilots who pervert the pay system in aviation? If not there should be, just like the scab lists from unions.

Everyone PFTs (Pay for training). I remember walking into a FBO flight school at a local airport and asked to get my Private pilot certificate for free. They said no, but here is a sheet that breaks down our costs and the total estimate for the private pilot. So I coughed up the dough and PFT'ed.
