you dont tell just other prospective pilots, you tell EVERYONE. cause its at the family christmas party a few years down the road when someone is chatting with your uncle about how old their kids are and what they wanna do for college. then the other guy says his kid wants to go to some aviation school and become a pilot, and all of a sudden your uncle says "oh i have a nephew that paid 100k to do that and now he makes 20K working 12+ hour days". so the other guy says, "that sounds stupid and i dont want my kid to do that"
SPREAD THE WORD!
