[HSpilot]

I just thought I would let you guys in this great thing I found out.
Calling around to check on B737 Type Ratings, I got accross Aeroservice in Miami and this gentlemen name Mr. Kelmann told me that in some states the government is paying for people to get Type Ratings. It is not every state that has money, but I know that Chicago does, and Miami-Dade County will pay for your training in full. And you don't even have to pay them back.
You may contact Mr. Kelmann for details at (800) 752-7467 or (305) 871-5557.

Funding is through WIA. A search on this forum will answer most questions. Funding is or has dried up. I'm not sure if the program has received additional funding. Many states will not pay for type ratings any longer due to the pilot hiring outlook. The 737 type used to be required for SWA, but they no longer require the type to interview. This may have influenced some states to stop funding for 73 types.

Type Ratings

I just checked with Miami-Dade county and they still have funds. They will pay any B737 or B747 Type Rating in full. They told me that some states have actually no more funds, but that is not true for all of them. You guys may want to call and check it out.
