I agree with Tankerhead!

Just my two cents, but as a consumer of "B737 Type Rating Training Services" I personally feel I received an excellent value for the price I paid at HPA. Without a doubt in my mind, if I were doing it all over again, I again would choose HPA.

All the staff were very polite and professional. The training experience was challenging, but HPA made if fun along the way. The facilities are top notch. The training materials and presentation of those materials is excellent. On my first day at HPA I personally met with three SWA People Department employees and I handed them my resume and got to tell them about myself. One of the women I met that day (April, 2007) was in fact one of my interviewers now in September, 2008.

In my earlier years I spent 7 years obtaining my undergraduate and graduate degrees from two excellent Texas Universities, and HPA met or exceeded my expectations based on all my prior educational experiences.

While I can not speak to any other B737 program, and I am sure there are other very good programs out there, I personally can say that at HPA you get more than just what you pay for. As a consumer, it does not get much better than that.
