No personal experience but from my sources it depends on your situation. Assuming you are doing it for SWA If you have been hired and need to get in the pool quick and cheap is better. FTI seems to be the fastest and least expensive. If you are trying to get the interview HPA and K&S seem to be in a better position to help you out. I have heard nothing but good things from grads of all three schools. Also majority opinion seems to be there is no real advantage to getting the type in the 300/500 or NG versus the 200. Hope this helps.

just curious how this works...
so you guys get your type rating, then what? don't ya have to go through your airline's training program (which gets you the type) rating? or thats not how it works? you need a certain type rating to fly for the airline?
also how much does getting a 737 type rating cost?

The airline's training doesn't have to give you the type. I know at Spirit, EVERYONE gets it.
At Colgan, you didn't get the types until upgrade. (And then, NOT EVEN the single pilot one for the 1900).
At Hawaiian, at least awhile ago, when you did your "checkride", you had the choice if you wanted the type on the 767, or not.

The type rating costs anywhere from $4,400 - $7,300 depending on where you got to get it. If you were/are in the military and have the G.I. Bill that will pay for 60% of the cost.
Just a small point for clarification.

They have an opening for a 9 July start date. PM me if you want the details.
It's $7300. The class sizes are much smaller than higher power which some people prefer.
I'm doing the 737 type in that class.
