They are yours too in SEP. Technically they are yours now but people aren't taking off their ex-con bracelets off yet.

Is Shrek trying to make a funny?

I know where there is a lot of space at a MX facility at the IND airport...

Last rumor I heard...
737 training in IAH
Everything else in DEN.

I guess we will see.
What's an ExCon bracelet?

Don't worry we had them too but they had Glenn's Gotta Go on them. I have seen a couple - maybe three on pilots since I came over in Nov. Ex-Con as in Ex-Continental written on them.
Just an observation - I am not the bracelet-wearing type.

Please let it be DenTK and not because it is an old LUAL property. For the CAL guys that have not had the chance to visit - HUGE facility compared to Mecca and no more captive audience lunchtime vendors.

If it stays with us you will like it - honest. Oh yeah - I live in DEN too so that makes me biased as well

I like DENTK but it is not convenient anymore. I say put it up for bid and let all the major cities compete. DENTK would sell easily as an office park etc. and over a few years we could all be in a new building(with a really nice cafeteria...) that includes a hotel etc. on property. I know IAH would throw money at this and offer to triple the size of IAHTK(and probably build a cafeteria). Let all the cities fight it out.

Not to mention that the neighborhood around TK has gone downhill, and is not really safe to be out and around the hotel across the street.

I hope they sell TK. It's a pain in the rear to commute to TK....and when you are in training the ride to the Hotel also sucks, tons of wasted time riding the bus to and from the Hotel and then to the airport.

Hopefully a new training center somewhere NEXT to an airport.

Houston has room. The city, not the CAL training center. It's maxed out for CAL without UAL. If they are starting new, my guess is Chicago because they seem to want everything there now. Money is not an issue, as long as it doesn't go directly to the pilot's paycheck.
