Not sure who is more naive student falling for a glossy brochure or people calling FTOs out for making them. It would be rather poor marketing if instead of a glossy brochure they were sending out matte flyers informing their potential clients that flight training is an incredibly risky investment and there is no guarantee of a job. If I go to a realtor I don't expect them to advise against buying a house because it's better to rent. It's indeed a business and they are marketing their business most efficient way possible. By no means is it FTOs job to act as a career & financial adviser to ensure their potential client doesn't make a bad investment by buying their service.
