I have been flying on FSX for many years, so without wishing to be arrogant, I have good knowledge of aviation and have a "passion" for it.
Yep, I wouldn't mention that. There are NO guarantees in this industry. The sooner wanabees realise that they are effectively putting the value if a house on a spin of a crooked roulette wheel, the better for all concerned. Go in with your eyes open and realistic expectations.
