Any suggestions/comments/experiences with either of these ?? I'm looking for the best interactive software package that will help me learn the CRJ systems as well as learning the cockpit (FMS etc.). I plan on playing with the MS FS CRJ add-on ( by Wilco) but also want something a little more sofisticated. Both of these look pretty good.

I know you're askign for software. But, consider this too:

I've found a few inaccuracies in it. But, overall, the book a great way to study the CRJ systems. Rather than reading like a manual, it's all arranged in a question/answer format. I wish the second edition had been out when I did my type rating. The first edition wasn't nearly as complete, and only addressed the 200. This new edition is awesome.

I really don't think you have the credentials to add your two cents with a signature like this:
You'll learn everything you need to know during training. I wouldn't worry too terribly much about trying to get ahead of the game. If you want to do some early prep, I'd suggest reading "The Turbine Pilots Flight Manual". It's a little bit dated but gives good laymen's descriptions of major systems on jet aircraft.

I agree. I have this book too and it comes with an interactive CD.
If you are just itching to fly the CRJ for no other reason, than check out Gulfstream. They have a new interview prep course out of Vero. I think they are still working out the bugs but I did it. It was $600. I honestly didn't get much from the oral prep but the guys that were working the CRJ sim were incredible! I won't tell u how many hours I got but it was more then what was advertised. I don't recommend focusing on the CRJ for an interview but if you just want to fly it, this would be great for you.
The two interviews I have been to have used a PCATD that was based off of a baron and an MD-80. Don't think that CRJ knowledge or experience would have helped u for the interview but it might be good to have after u are offered a job.
