Of course they'll keep Denver TK (Training Kingdom, Temporary Knowledge, Training Kenter, make up your own). It's got Boeing 737-300/500 sims along with those nifty fixed sims for the procedures training.
No sense in getting rid of sims for airplanes that you're only parking temporarily!

FWIW.....Just flew a trip with a CAL School House Cat. He said that when Jeffery showed up in Houston weeks back to speak to the entire School House (Instructors, Ck-Airmen, Fleet Mgr's, ect...), he was very clear in saying that they would keep a split training operation. A major reason for that he cited is to 'protect' the training system....IE - Cat 5 Hurricane hit's IAH, DEN is still running....Crippling Tornado/or huge Snow Storm knocks DEN down, IAH is still running. Again....just one guy who was there, I obviously was not.
I did find it funny that this also went on to say that Jeff actually showed up with 2 guys, dressed in suits that stood in the back of the room/doorway during this entire meeting held at a local hotel in IAH (From what he said, it was CAL/UAL School House people there). When Jeff was done with his horse-n-pony show, the two gentlemen 'escorted' him out when he left....don't remember "Frank" ran around with his own muscle/posse

Interesting how they're worried about keeping a few sims up and running, but a blizzard can shut down ALL of ORD, cancelling THOUSANDS of flights, but we're going to shut down our ops in IAH and move to ORD since it's more "effective" for us (rather than keep a split ops???).......hmmmmmmmmm, I guess I just don't get the big picture.

When you find it, clue me in.

Why go through all that trouble to move those sims. There are plenty of nice close up short subject HUD movies of "real pilots" flying the F-16. Most have even included a "pointer" to highlight the "real pilot" in action.
First one to the white board wins.
