Being as there is a 767-400 sim there already....and supposedly a 777 sim moving from IAH soon, DENTK seems to be the obvious choice.
As others have said, that probably means the new UAL training center will be in.......Shreveport?

Anyone that moves a headquarters to one of the most taxed states is not expected to make good sound decisions down the road anyway. Chicago vs IAH well both succk but more cash in my pocket in IAH and more left over to give to employees, so that means its moving to ORD

Random question, how do you get a job in the training dept? When I was first starting out flying in late 90s, everyone was getting out of AF. A couple of my IPs who applied at United were contacted and asked if they'd consider instructor jobs in the training center. I can't remember if any took it.
Is that still how they hire?

Ground school instructors (non-flying) that teach the FOM, systems, etc., can be hired off the street into non pilot seniority list training department positions.
Flight instructors (i.e. sim) are seniority list pilots. If one wants to work as a UA instructor the first threshold is being hired as a pilot. At times of great demand it would not surprise me if UA was actively 'recruiting' potential instructors as line pilots. For example, during my initial new-hire indoc in the late nineties they took those of us with prior transport category training/checking experience aside and asked us to consider applying for instructor positions.
FYI, per the current United Pilot Agreement:
23-A-4-c In order to be eligible to perform the duties of an Instructor, a Pilot must have a minimum of twelve (12) Bid Periods as a line Pilot with the Company.
