Correct. Don't pay for training. Except your licenses. The employer has to pay your training.
Not that you shouldn't prepare yourself 100%, but don't pay for training that your airline will provide.

I agree. You'd be a fool to pay for a course like that, when an airline will pay for it. Those courses are just a scam by some sleazy flight school. Don't waste your money. Get paid for your CFI hours, get on with a regional, and let THEM pay for your RJ course.

I am going to take a wild guess and say that Flybycable went to either ATP, Jet U, or worse yet, Mesa Pilot Development. He has no degree, no CFI, and most likely paid for a jet course. He got hired with 300 hours or less. He probably works at Mesa or Go Jet.
I may be wrong, but his attitude portrays that of the individuals I have met with the above mentioned "credentials".
So, I am I right Cable? Be honest.

Hey yall. I'm planning to attend a CRJ course. Any thoughts or insight on the one at PanAm Academy. They have a one week and a four week course for a reasonable price($3900).
I heard the CRJ course helps low time pilots to get an interview and from washing out in training.
So, Whats da word????

Doesn't matter if you know how to fly a sim, because a sim doesn't slam you back against the seat when you takeoff, and a sim doesn't have 50+ lives in the back, and the sim doesn't have a reset button. The only way to get the confidence to do that is giving the controls to a primary student in a 172 and managing the fear that he's going to screw up with the need to let him learn. The mental process of constantly monitoring approaches and landings in a 172 without letting the guy kill you and himself is a huge confidence builder.
I don't think you're truly ever the "pilot in command" until you're first CFI checkride/training. Unless you've done it, you probably won't understand why.
