First of all, the way airlines are hiring anyone these days... I wouldn't say "on the small chance you get an airline job." If someone doesn't hire you, you can bet the next guy would love to have you. Second, PLEASE do not waste your money on a RJ course. It's a waste of your (or your parents) hard earned money... In my initial class the only guy that seemed to have trouble was the one with previous "RJ Transition" experience. While he had a better understanding of the systems, he couldn't wrap himself around the company specifics.
