Hello, I have heard a few different opinions on getting a CRJ type rating. I am a CFI, CFII, MEI, and have been looking around various regionals. My question is, is the general consensus that a type rating would be beneficial, make me more appealing as a new hire FO in a RJ? First instict says yes, of course, anything to distinguish myself from the crowd would be good. Perhaps the question is more would the costs involved in attaining a type rating be worth it for getting a interview/job. Do regionals care if pilots on the lower end of the time spectrum have a RJ type rating? Perhaps I'm off base, but welcome the opinions of those who have the jobs that I'd like to have.
Thanks for your time!
