The 777 move was planned and announced about two months ago. There was a feasibility study performed to determine what to do about the having both training locations. The panel decided to move the 756 and 777 to TK. IAH will be a 737 and 787 training location and TK all else. Howard announcing that we are going to one location was a bit premature since it will be several years before this can occur. IAH is getting another 737 sim in 3rd quarter but when they go to one location, I think TK will be the spot. There has been drawings and plans to expand IAH and even take over the Expressjet building but I think that it was just looking at IAH and the associated costs to convert it to a TK like space and sell TK. The land around TK is going up in value but I am not sure if it will be worth enough to make a lot to go with this Plan B.
