Man, this is what I forgot to write about. Take it from me. You DO NOT need a CRJ prep course if you can help it. I also was seriously considering doing a CRJ prep course too. Trust me you dont need it. Save the money if you can. Now, it probably will help you get the job but I didnt do one, and I dont have "high time". I came from flying steam guage airplanes and this is my first all glass plane. The training was fun and yeah it was a lot of info at once, but its nothing that you cant do with some effort and work. Its fun too, I had a great time. Yeah there were some things that I was a little slow on at first, but I just stuck with it and it was no problem at the end, though I still have a lot of learning to do. But just trust me, you DO NOT need to drop 6K for an a RJ course. If you can get in without it, then do that. Just listen, and have a positive attitude and you'll be good to go.
O and Mesaba sends the 900 guys to either Montreal (Bombarbier) or Denver (CAE) to do the 900 training. I think they just got a 900 sim in MSP so hopefully thats where the training will be once it gets up and running.
