My question: why pay for CRJ training at all? The airline that hires you will provide that free of charge....and pay you on top of that!

I thought about MAPD for a while. One of my best friends went there, and it worked out well for him....up until he got hired at Mesa and started hating life. Now he's an FO at Skywest. The thing that made me decided against MAPD is that I could spend less $$ on my instructor ratings and actually GET something for my money. MAPD offered me basically an interview at Mesa for about $15K, but that was about it. I'm glad I took the route I did instead.

As for the not needing to know the deminsions of Class D....WHAT? They do know that a LOT of the airports CRJs fly into actually ARE Class D, right?
