Maybe they'll put another 744 or 330 sim there!

Another 330 Sim is coming for sure, it's not on the ship yet, but it's coming from MAN. There is an open bay next to the current 330 Sim.

I was at Natco on Sat. doing a Recency and the instructor said that the new sim is part of a bigger deal with Airbus but he didn't go into details.

Bet he didn't.

I think a lot of this will be known in the coming weeks. JAL is set to declare/enter in a few hrs and the results of the work to get them in Skyteam should be known shortly after that. What we do and how we do it will probably take form after we know or publicly can state which way we are going.

I agree. And yes, I went to look at the 787 Sim and it looked like they were taking it apart, the entire front Canopy was off and laying on the floor and there were numerous panels on a table. The additional 747-400's rumor is still hot and alive around the North Training Center.

The 787 sim that is leaving MSP belongs to Altheon. NW did business with them. DAL does not. Hence the removal of their equipment.

Correct. Part of the reason. No need to do business with them when we have other "priorities" currently. We have plenty of Bay Space avail between NATCO and DAL-S for all of our near-term SIM needs. If and when we need a 787 sim we will have no issue getting one.
The training program will work just fine in a few years. It will sit on a shelf collecting dust until it is needed.

I beleive I have hinted at it!

I believe that we will be battling with AMR in Asia and Latin America.

West Coast North-South feed will get diluted one way or another.

You should also know by a few posters on here, that I have absolute no knowledge of anything. I am just projecting knowledge.

Welcome to the forum. It is going to happen in a few hrs, why not pop some popcorn and wait.

Wife also wants to force me to sit in front of the TV and watch The Bachelor......I think I will go wash my hair!


So tell us a little about yourself.
