Swedish. .there are many companies in the USA offering B737 type rating. I could name aeroservice in miami, pan-am ( associated with jetech intl')in FL. Also continental offers B737-300 efis for less than 10K USD their Houston center.. .What you need to understand if you are low houred pilot with no heavy jet time is that all these programs will carry extra costs to you as they are designed for experienced pilots. attending such 15 days course requires extensive home study and very often the school will not accept you if then know you have less than 700 hours ( honestly they'll ridicule you!). .Besides an FAA type rating cannot go on your JAA license right away and that depends again on the country you're in !! in the UK they say get 500 hours and we'll switch it to your uk-JAA license.. .About a JAA type rating it will cost you anywhere from 16500 GBP and UP.. .If you are keen on spending money. Eagle Jet in Miami is offering B737-800 NG JAA type rating plus 250 hours line experience for about 44000 USD.
