B757 - 3 sims (I think)

and that is just the full flight sims, doesn't include FMS or PTTs or the sims used to train other airlines.

The real kicker is that management is STILL stuck on not offering hotel rooms and PS passes to/from the schoolhouse for instructors that don't live where the Training Center is located. If they did that they might not lose so much experience from the instructor corps.

I suppose the FAA will just look the other way and not consider it a safety issue during the "transition" if most of the instructors decide not to move to ATL and not to instruct (at leaston the 747 and Airbii)

It will be even more fun to watch the training backlog. Some sims don't react well to being moved.
