so you guys get your type rating, then what? don't ya have to go through your airline's training program (which gets you the type) rating? or thats not how it works? you need a certain type rating to fly for the airline?

also how much does getting a 737 type rating cost?
SWA requires you to get the 737 type rating within 6 months of being hired. You then go through their training which is approx 6 weeks. The type rating costs anywhere from $4,400 - $7,300 depending on where you got to get it. If you were/are in the military and have the G.I. Bill that will pay for 60% of the cost.
