UND Aerospace has a CRJ program...from being through it...it is intense.

From ATP website...

For the lower-time flight instructor or 135 pilot...

ATP’s Regional Jet Standards Certification program includes 20 hours of CRJ-200 FTD training, 6 days of CRJ-200 ground school, and a pre-arrival home study program on CRJ systems and FMS. The program concludes with an FTD checkride with a current Regional Airline pilot, and a certification of your performing up to Airline Transport Pilot standards in the CRJ-200 FTD.


I don't know about you, but 6 days of the CRJ-200 ground school is crap. At UND try Gas Turbine Engines for 4 months along with Airline Transport Systems for another 4 months. Then you are finally put into the ground school for the CRJ while flying the FTD for 20 hours. Hands down the CRJ program at UND is far more superior to ATP's. Plus UND pilots that go though the program get reduced mins anyways. For example Pinnacle (not to say this is a great company to go to but...) is hiring UND pilots (only UND grads) that went through the program at 500 w/ME (no ME time specified).
