Also - it isn't just two months at regional pay, if the pilot who failed out of training gets to a major, he'll make top end Captain pay two months later. Top end Captain pay is presently around $13,000 a month - so that's around $26,000 he theoretically missed. <br><br>Also, the CRJ course does provide a certain level of confidence, which can be invaluable in a training environment.Alexanderhttp://profiles.yahoo.com/u/Q67RMEM77MMG7KQNS3UY5RGFVInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093644604429778937.post-1226990130040678672010-06-20T03:50:08.000-07:002010-06-20T03:50:08.000-07:00love the insight on whether you have previous G100...love the insight on whether you have previous G1000 or Avidyne time.

Being used to trend vectors, flight directors and such will be a huge help.Geekhttp://geekinthecockpit.comnoreply@blogger.com
