HPA or K&what?

[RedEye1]

KandS, quicker or better?

I went to HPA. What an adventure. They have the best instructors and the attitude of the owners is unreal. Definitely the best aviation experience so far!

HPA is a class act...but a type is a type so I would take the cheaper alternative to be honest...but if money is not important then HPA all the way.

It's K and S. Top notch and cheaper. They actually want you to be a 737 pilot and don't just stamp your certificate.

Go to the cheapest one. I went to HPA because they have a student loan program, so you won't have to put in on your credit card or empty your checking account. HPA's type school was a joke and is geared to pass a cessna 172 pilot!

Anyone do thier type thru Lone Eagle? Online ground and 6 days for the sim work sounds almost too good to be true, as well as being alot cheaper.

I can't speak for K&S.....but I do know that HPA is tight with SWA...especially the People Dept. That was a huge plus for me.

FTI. $5700 2 wks. Denver plus $600 for hotel

A banner on the top of this page advertises 737 types for $4995 at Pan Am. If it was me, I'd go for saving two grand.

First off, use the search function.

and secondly, with regards to the quality of the product at some of these schools... my opinion... who the eff cares?!? You are obviously doing it in the hopes of getting interviewed by SWA and not to actually to become the Chuck Yeager of the 737. I don't care if they have level triple D simulators (mmmm triple D's) or a paper tiger with a guy making engine noises in the background, as long as your certificate says "B737" on it you are good to go. You will learn all you need to know about the 737 at the ground school/IOE of whatever airline hires you.

If you have the money, go to HPA due to their connections with SWA... if not, go to the cheapest place that also has the highest pass rate.

If you were getting a breast implant, would you get the cheapest or best?

I just went to training and got my fat per diem check ,full pay ,hotels and positive space airfare to and from the house. just get a job that values you enough to pay you for your time and your training .737 type included.
by the way can't wait to get off this thing and back on the 75.

No, but comparing type rating schools to breast implants is like comparing apples to oranges (or melons? ).

Take your flame bait somewhere else ....

Go to FTI! Painless and cheapest 737 type rating out there. You will get done in 8 days for $4995 + hotel cost. I highly recommend them.
