Let us not forget that DENTK has the capacity to maintain the training requirements of a 12,000 pilot workforce.
Of course, it would require updating but the physical space and capacity is there sitting idle. |
DENTK is getting a light rail station built right down the street from it that will be served by the same line that goes out to the new airport and also to downtown Denver in just a few years. Doesn't get much more convenient than that.
As for the neighborhood around it, it's always been in a tougher part of town, but it's getting better fast, and definitely not getting worse. |
I personally wish they would do away with ALL training centers!!

Yes! They should give pilots the same privileges they give Boeing, fertilizer companies, and banks--self regulation.
I noticed that the centerfold of the most recent ALPA magazine, an ALPA-PAC solicitation, proudly informs us that the ALPA-PAC contributed the third-highest amount of money, after NATCA and the International Union of Operating Engineers, to Republican candidates--and that ALPA-PAC contributed zero dollars to any of Barack Obama's campaigns. So, if corporates are going to be freed from regulation, why not airline pilots? We're loyal, patriotic citizens of the great American corporatrocracy. Good point, APC225! (While we're at it, could I get my pilot pay taxed at the capital gains rate?);) |

I'd say that's only fair, because pilots as a group generally support banks, fertilizer companies, and aircraft manufacturing companies (NOT their employees) when it comes time to cast a ballot or register a political opinion.

People dieing in foreign ghetto garment factories so we can have cheap underwear, no universal health insurance so the poor have to go to the ER for the most expensive medical possible which we pay for with ever higher premiums. Invisible hand, every one act in their own self interest, Howard Roark statues everywhere, one for all all for one, (for "the producers") rah rah rah, go team. |
