PPL would probably be very helpful. In addition to piloting skills, it shows some ability to follow through, pass tests, etc.
There are RJ CA's who complete UPT... if you have a lot of experience, the trick is to focus on doing things THEIR way, not YOUR way (or the FAA's way). Previous experience will make it easier to learn, but you have to focus on LEARNING the new stuff. So your attitude and approach is important.
