It's a huge blow to morale in Minnie, the fortress that used to train all sorts of pilots from DC9 to 747... Can't imagine native Minnesotans would even consider uprooting their families and move to Atlanta.
Very sad day for our flt sim and flt attendant training staff.

Did anyone really expect that the company would keep duplicate facilities, especially in this environment?

Everybody knew that except the Minnesota politicians.
Training is shrinking every year. Mostly computer based, CDs and memos already.
There's plenty of room in Atlanta.

She looks Jersey-licious with a spray on tan, waaay too sweaty, and in general, looks uncomfortable to snuggle up to.
Have to say I'm a bit disappointed in the path you've chosen.

Just got the e-mail. First, how does this affect the financial deal with the MSP airport authority and second, where on the ATL campus is there enough room for all of the training?
Pretty soon we'll all be facing toward ATL 5 times a day and saying our devotions.
Seriously, I see the need to consolidate to lower the overhead, but having a little bit of room to flex training is a worthwhile cost. We have scheduled retirements coming up and after the May 10 AE, they're still digging out the training backlog on the A320 and the 7ER.

and not to mention the facility itself. I'm a south guy, and if I never saw ATL again it would be too soon.

How many sims are at NATCO? Do they even have enough bays to accomplish this in ATL? Moving all the sims?
I would never leave MSP if I was a instructor. Atlanta just plain blows! This is coming from a guy that lived in Atlanta for 20 years and finally escaped!
Looks like the commute from ATL to MSP will get even harder for those making the commute.

Looks like the HF radios may be fun the next day or so:
