Regional Pilots Stanards training.

[minrest]

I keep seeing ads for these types of courses. They usually cost about $5,000. To me they seem completely unnecessary and a fleecing of pilots. I used to be a check-airman with a large regional airline and I never met a new-hire FO that attended one of these. They all seemed to make it through training without such programs.

Does anyone have any experience with them or know if hiring departments care? It seems like a new twist on pay-for-training.
