737 type training recomendations ?

Looking for a good type school for the good old 737, I would like to hear personal recommendations if possible from guys,and girls who have gotten the type. Thank you in advance. And the search function still leaves something to be desired. Thank you.

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.

HPA was great. Excellent advice on resumes, etc. My highest recommendation.

I agree. I think their very close relationship with Southwest is a big plus, if you are targeting SWA.

Why? Is that what THEY told you. What a scam.

No. They don't claim any special relationship. But if you spent 2 weeks there I think you understand what I mean. As an example, my 7 member class has had 4 hired by SWA, 1 waiting for the next DB, and the other 2 interviewing in coming months.

No that's not what THEY tell you. It's that guys personal opinion. They do have good ties with the PD at SWA. A recruiter usually visits every class. It didn't do me any good, but the crew at HPA are good folks.

K&S in Phoenix has SWA come visit each class also.

If you want quick and inexpensive try lone eagle. loneeagleaviation.com kind of a firehose class but it was over in 6 days.
