Just tell yourself...look at all of those 300 hour pilots hired at these airlines with barely 20 multi and no rj course and they make it. Are you saying that they can do it and you cant? I know personally of people who have taken an RJ course and still failed training. In no way would I really even say that it is an advantage. In a ratio of cost to benefit gained id say that one is a lose lose situation. An example of a good investment is the turbine engine manual book (forgot the actual name) it will cost a few bucks on amazon and work wonders.
Here's the difference though USMC-Sgt. As you and I both come from a sturctured background and understand repetetive training.
Those 300 hour pilots probably flew 5-7 days a week straight.
I have 650 hours. It took me 12 years to get that. I amnot one of these richguys who could afford togo to a aviationprogram. i came up through the ranks one rating at a time as I had the money. I took a year off of flying to go to Bosnia withthe Army to get money for my PPL. I took another 18 months off to go to Iraq to pay for my CFI and II.
There is a thing called muscel memory. If you do something consistantly daily it will become second nature to yu. If you dont do it it wont. I havent flown a twin in 4 months. (no money) so if youstucj me in a twin jet tomorrow, I know I would be behind.
What I did do though was buy FSX and I like it if I can figure out how to make it do what I want.
