I did FTI in DEN last year. They do a great job and are VA approved as well. As far as inside track, SWA does not care where you get the type rating. Once you get it, your app is in the same stack as the guys from HPA and K&S. Don't get me wrong...both are excellent programs and do have the advantage of having SWA contacts.

Anyone get a type from Higher Power for less then 7380.00? I was wondering if they ever run specials. WIA has offered to pay 5000 toward a type as long as I pay the difference. Of course being on unemployment I'm trying to spend as little as possible.

Try K&S in PHX. I think it was $5500 when I did it (but that was back in 2007). And this was a 200 sim...therefore cheaper.

Thread back from the dead ... 
A large disparity in prices between schools is sometimes due to one using a 200 sim. for the type. You can save a lot of money going this route - it's the same rating, of course - but if and when you ever do a sim. eval. for an NG operator you'll be a bit behind the power curve unless you have a lot of glass experience in other aircraft. Choose carefully; the extra expense may be money well spent.

I got mine from Higher power over a year ago. I was a bit rusty, and a bit under experienced, but I wanted to do it anyway. I was pretty satisfied. If you're interested, here is the inside of their facilities. They were talking about getting some more sims, and changing stuff around. I don't know if they ever did.
