I wouldn't mind a trip to CPH myself for some training. Maybe try to grab some downtime to tour Europe. I've only heard good things about the experience from 9E pilots who made the trip.
there's not that much of a backlog, Longest wait I've heard of is a month. What I meant was that we will have the ability to train lots more newbies that we need with PHX, and if the CPH thing happens again for 900 differences training opening up the MSP sims for more new hire stuff. The word about CPH, straight from the head of training, is "it's on the radar" so nothing definite but a possibility. At least CAE brought the sim to PHX and we don't have to send anyone to Kuala Lumpur where it came from.
