I don't think it is specific to the 767.
I read somewhere, company article, that they are doing this to consolidate training locations in Memphis so that the MD, 777, A300 and 757/767 sims will all be at Airways. I think Tech Ops (MX) will have some class rooms there too. I have been told, can't say for sure, that the 727 sims won't make the move. Supposed to be finished in late 2013, I believe.
