737 type schools
Without sounding presumptious....I am trying to find total cost of 737 type rating in case the call from SW happens. Looking for recommendations from past experience of different companies and cost of type and lodging, time required for training, etc. Companies to avoid, etc.
Any with payment plans, or are all paid upfront....Thx!

USA DOT/FAA Airline Transport Pilot Certificate. The certificate must display the following:
"Airplane Multiengine Land" Category and Class Ratings
B-737 Type Rating
("B-737 CIRC.APCH.-VMC ONLY" is the only permitted limitation for the "B-737" type rating requirement.)
"English Proficient" limitation.
Plastic certificate (plastic not required if the certificate is a valid temporary certificate.)

Furthermore, what good is a type-rating without time in said type?
I don't mean to be a pain in the rear by asking so many questions; I'm only genuinely curious, that's all. I would tend to think that a successful airline like SW would be able to afford to train their new-hires like most airlines do.

You will not get a call if you don't already have the type. It used to be before you could interview without the type but this around, their minimums specifically say...................

Hard to go wrong with HPA but it's not cheap! It will probably set you back 12k+ after hotel/food/booze (assuming you don't live in Dallas).

Crew Pilot Training
CPT is highly recommended amongst my co-workers. $7300, roughly 10 days of training....plan 2 weeks away. You get the prep materials via mail about 30 days prior and are expected to self study prior to start date.
