then i'd skip it. while CHQ does operate the CRJ, the leases start expiring the latter half of this year, and Bedford has said we're not keeping the planes. they were a stopgap.
the entire rest of the fleet is 145 series and 170 series planes. while not completely different from the CRJ, it is enough to provide some headaches in training. i watched the CRJ guys struggle some with the 170's systems, while i (former 145 driver) didn't have near the problem as the airplanes are near identical in the cockpit layout and systems logic.
longwinded chatter short; you don't need the jet transition course.
