Anyone know where one can go for a fam course on the Crj? Not a type rating, a fam course. Pan am?
You wouldn't beleive me if I told you.
you won a butt-load of money and want to buy one.
If that's true, I'll send in a resume to be an instructor. Gotta get mine. Dolla bill, ya'll.
There are some of us who, for practical purposes, will never fly an airliner - but would pay for the chance to fly a sim. I've thought about doing that 737 familiarization course down in Houston just for fun.
Didn't United do something like this back in the 90's? You got to come in and play airline pilot for the day and tool around in the sim. I thought it was good P.R., but since 9/11, companies may be a little nervous about this sort of thing.

Seriously. If it had anything to do with you gaining free money, then I would use that money to get a life time supply of beef jerky or something because it would be totally wasted on a CRJ fam course. If you can't pass CRJ training, the barbie jet, you probably shouldn't be near an airplane to begin with.
One of our emb fo's has been a pilot for us for 10 years. He never flies, owns a biz where he makes 50-100k/month. He approached me for a course like this because it's up or out at our company. He wants to make sure he doesn't fail and knows the plane before he goes straight to the left seat.
Even use company manuals and everything.
I wouldn't do that, there's a reason all the company materials are locked up when non-company personnel use the simulators.
