I have both and i think the crj course help but it is not worht the money. It will put you ahead by maybe a sim or two tops. after that everyone else has causght up to you. I did it because it was part of my major so i had too. I am now looking back on where i went and if i would have know more about the industy then i would have went another route. Bottom line save your money.

Everyone that says to do your cfi is 100% correct you learn so much in the first few months of haveing a student scare the crap out of you. It makes your scan 10 times faster. I would also say get your MEI because 1 it is a great achievement and two you have a whole new learning curve when you start teaching in a twin and you fail one and your student feathers the other while in the pattern. Those were the days!! lol
