WIA is good for $7k. The Aerostar A-320 Level-C course is $7900, so you just have to pony-up some extra $$ to git-r-done. I wish we had the DHL deal; those guys got around $40k/each for new type ratings, housing, books, etc. Several of them are getting both 737NG & A-320 Type Ratings each. I'm happy for them...it's a really good deal! We, on the other hand, have to start paying yield fare
