We might have to retire the APC chant of "The days of 500 hour hiring are long gone"
The RJ "orientation" course is $2495 per ATP's web site. $5K if it's the full "certification" week course. But if they're paying, not a big deal unless the contract is not pro rated.

Back in the 60s the majors hired people with PPLs. Who knows what the current boom could lead to.

I guess this also means ATP can stop running their "Buy an RJ Course and get an interview with Eagle!" ads.
