Nor do I think you should have passed it up just because you might not be as qualified as you could be/need to be once you get on line. There is only ONE person on this forum that I know of that has said he held off going to a jet/tprop because he wasn't ready. Everybody else has jumped at the opportunity. If that's what the market will bear, then you shouldn't be worried about it. I guess the point I was making (and this isn't the first thread I've made it in) is that knowing CRJ systems and profiles will be really helpful getting through systems and sim but really isn't going to do anything for you when you get on line. I would much rather have a guy who has a handle on Class B radio communications and how to fly an ILS then somebody who can explain to be when the B Pumps are on and why and when the ILS 2 Engine profile says to slow to 180 and go flaps 8. That sort of stuff is pretty useless when they have screwed up vectors to final and you are joining above the glideslope just inside the marker and there is an (early model) Citation 3 miles ahead of you on the approach.
Again, I agree 100% that despite being low time you have every right to a job they offered you. Study hard and you'll do just fine.
