Not to mention it's the airline's job (and requirement whether you do the ATP course or not) to train you ... don't do their job for them.
If you can't afford your life now how in the world can you afford MORE debt for training you don't really need? |
No the RJ course is a birthday present from my parents. Everything I have in life I've earned, my parents never really held my hand. I financed all of my flight training on my own, and my Mom and Dad said they are so proud of what I've acocmplished, that they feel like they owe it to me. I've talked about the RJ course with them, and they've offered to send me, so I'm taking them up on it.
Plus my instructor through the program despised the RJ course. He didn't like it all and refused to do it. Well he got hired at Express around 800TT and he the first thing he told me after new hire class was do the RJ course. He said three other guys had done it and they were way ahead of everyone else in the class. He told me that he didn't see a value to the RJ course until he went to new hire class. It's one thing to get an interview and get hired, its another to make it through new hire training. Doing the RJ course doesn't give you a type rating, but it familiarizes you with RJ systems, FMS and crew procedures. Something that definitely can't hurt to have under your belt prior to new hire class.
