Cloud,
Without getting into the whole "to CFI or to not CFI debate"... if your friend is looking for the fastest route without having to instruct:
- MESA PACE is an excellent program. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. However, the drawback is: you then have to fly for Mesa. Conclusion: avoid
- ATPS RJ Certification program. Advantage: cheap (if you call 6 grand cheap. Still, it's about the cheapest bridge program out there). Disadvantage: you interview AFTER the program is completed.
- Jet U, Flight Safety, Regional Airline Academy. Expensive ($27K)!!!!
- Gulfsteam. 'Nuff said.
- Consider CAE's bridge program with Pinnacle. Reasonable (relatively speaking) price: $10K. Quality program. Yeah, I know, a lot of guys aren't crazy about working for Pinnacle.
If you want more information, pm me.
