For FAA pilots, I can heartily recommend ATOP for an airline 2-day intro, including sim time. I did the 737 course when it was at United and it was some of the best fun/interest per dollar and hour. http://www.atopjets.com/ (no affiliation other than long-ago satisfied customer)

Oh wow, this looks amazing. Do you need to be a licensed pilot to participate?

Unfortunately, yes.

I can also recommend that, but it’s admittedly not something to just do on a whim some weekend sometime… :)
