SlimJim,

Yep, on the 10th. I was a C-21 guy too...ADW.

I think PremAir is around 6K. I can't remember the exact number right now. It's right in-line with all the 737 sim places. They all charge about the same. Higher Power does have the obvious in with Southwest, but PremAir basically has the same ins at Alaska. Southwest has even been coming up to SEA to the PremAir classes to "steal" people out from Alaska's nose, from what I've heard. I chose PremAir for the Alaska conection and the fact that I can sleep in my own bed at night. I don't need to pay for a hotel on top of the type rating.
