Do you think a 737 type rating would help out at all. I'm army but all my time will be in the King Air 200/350. Should be around 2,000 ish hours when service obligation is finished. I'm going to get my ATP before I get out in order to give myself an oppourtinity to maybe get picked up at a LCC, major, or hopefully a legacy. All seem like better options than starting the journey into the 121 world at a regional. And now I'm trying to figure out if a 737 GI bill funded type rating would help this out at all for what it's worth.
Thanks

Don't waste time and money on the B737 type. Put some time in at a regional and acquire a type rating and ATP while you are being paid for your piloting skills. With your military aviation background, you will have your choice of which legacy/LCC that you want.

ArmyFW, get your ATP for free while you're in. I don't know how much the 737 type will help though.

Free? Give me the details and I'll sign up tomorrow. Everyone (from LT's to retiring CO's) I've seen has been getting the ATP on own time, own dime.

Probably because they weren't eligible, transferred their GI Bill benefits to a dependent, and/or used it already on other stuff. I used my GI Bill to pay for my ATP/CTP course and my ATP/Type Rating. You have to pay up front but then the company reimburses you a few weeks after the course when they're paid by the gub'mint.

It's how I got my ATP. Thanks to Uncle Sam, I've effectively paid zero for all of my qualifications, from glider, SEL, & MEL commercial and CFI to ATP.
Thanks, Uncle Sam!

This was how it was done before last summer. You pay $50 to take your ATP written and when the government pays for your training in a new type, you take the practical in the sim or in the aircraft (if there's an FAA guy available for that type of thing.)
