Back to the type question.
I went to the training out in Las Vegas and it's done through Flight Training International (Denver company). They opened a sim out there and the type class costs $4995. The ground school is home study with a computer program and some study guides and I actually found this a better option being able to study at my own pace. When I got there I found I was well prepared and the training was very straightforward. You get one day of ground review, oral prep and then 6 sim sessions and a checkride, total of 8 days. If you already have a job at SW like myself, it is well worth saving the additional $2000 you pay elsewhere.
