I am not quite a CRJ 200 pilot yet... but I have a friend who had a project to do for a class. He bought a EMB-135 POH on Ebay. I couldn't tell ya much more, but you might want to check there.
Congrats on the job!

Training consists of the following:
- 2 weeks basic Indoc
- 2 weeks of systems and computer based training
- 1 week of Operations Module
- 1 week of CPT
- 8 sim sessions
- IOE
As far as books go, read the 121 regs. There is a book by R.H. Skipper, a ASA CRJ captain that has all the company profiles and everything you need to know about the CRJ. You can purchase this book during your first couple of weeks. I wouldnt worry so much about learning the systems prior to ground school as you dont know which aircraft you will be assigned. There have been ATR slots in the past few classes and even word that there are 700 slots available as well.
Good luck with your training !

Chances of the 700 are unknown, it was just something I heard. Seniority it based on your age, so if you are young you can count on the ATR if there are slots open. In my class there were 4 ATR, the class after me was all RJ and then the next class after that had 4 ATR slots. Right now, it seems the ATL CRJ 200 is the best QOL airframe as the reserve time is the lowest.
The hotel is the Red Roof. I have a room on the top floor lookig out at the airport and it has been fine. Minor complaints here and there but it is nice to have single occupancy.

Is it common for age to be the seniority once in a class for aircraft assignment?

awesome! Congrats!!!!! How was the interview process overall? Keep me posted, I'm considering applying... Good luck w/the training and all!!!
Yes, the youngest guy in class gets the highest seniority number (bad thing)...and thus the last choice in aircraft preference. Although in my class we had a number of people who bid the ATR on purpose. The pay is the same, and they wanted to be home more. Since the ATR doesn't go very far away, you are home a lot more.
As far as the ATR's going anywhere, as of the other day none were leaving until 2007, which is when the leases on about 8 or 9 of them expire. But....it is the airlines, so anything can change.
I have also heard of new hire 700 assignments. We just received 4 more, so we need pilots for them. I was in the Feb class and 6 or 7 of our pilots have already made the switch and will start differences training in the next few months.

Someone told me the last of ATRs were going out. Are the chances of the 700 really that good?
Also is the hotel the red-roof inn? When I stayed there for the interview I could... lets say "Hear" the other couples in the rooms next to mine

The ATR is badass. Don't sweat it if you get it. Great plane!

Yeah, I've always liked the ATR and i'll be happy with whatever I get. ATR, CRJ, 172. As long as i'm flying and getting paid for it i'm happy.

The process was great. The hardest thing and usually the part where the highest failure rate occurs is the sim. I think its rare for someone to pass the sim and then fail the verbal. Day 1 there were 4 of us and day 2 there were 3 of us. aviationinterviews.com really helped me out.

How long after you sent a resume did you get the call for an interview? I sent one last week and was wondering what the timeframe was.
[/ QUOTE ]
I faxed it to them and got a call from someone about 45 min to hour after I faxed them. But that was june 1st right before their reduced mins were made public, so they probably didn't have very many others.

600 ish is pretty much what I've heard of for guys that went the Riddle route. Were you a graduate of Embry Riddle?
Congrats, I hope to be there soon...

As a mater of fact I did. When I was in the hotel for my interview I saw about 10 people I knew from riddle. It was almost like a reunion.
