Flight Training International has VA approved 737-200 course in DEN for $5995. Shari Egan scheduled my training on a Friday, and I had my materials on Monday. I leave for DEN to train on 13 May.
FTI also has other training locations for about $1000 cheaper, but it is not VA approved.

Thanks for the responses. Im a corporate 135 driver with 4 business jet types. 2700 turbine PIC. 6300TT.
Im overnighting in LAS and Im going to visit Lone Eagle today. Seems a bit rushed to get a 737 rating in 6 days. I hope its not a gimic where they tell you that you need a partner and more training later after you bust.
From what I have read the 737 looks like a fairly simple jet. Any insight on the 737 oral and checkride?

I got mine from Lone Eagle. You do all the prep online before you get there. One day of ground school and 5 days of sims. Drinking from the firehose but it's cheap and done. Right now they're advertising $5995.
Lone Eagle's sim is in Las Vegas and there's a couple other companies that use the same one who also have lower priced programs.

Flight Schools
I'm looking into flight schools & was looking into the Delta Academy, ATP, & Air Safety flight academy. Has anyone gone to anyone of these schools & if so, any thoughts or recommendations? I"m leaning towards Air Safety & Delta. I know they're pricey but I can probably do it w/o any loans. I just would like to know if they're worth the price. Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,

I went to a HIGHER POWER...can I hear an amen.
If you use HPA for your type, make sure to diet beforehand, because they feed you like you're an airline pilot.
Good program, good instructors.
I still get newsletters from them.
