Now this is what we call an unforgettable opportunity! The Mile-High Flyers of Denver had a full tour of United Airlines’s Flight Training Center——the world’s largest flight training facility! 🌐 With nearly 750,000 sq. ft. of training space and 70 flight training devices, this center is where all 18,000 United pilots return every 9 months for recurrent training. NGPA members had the incredible opportunity to hear from United executives, tour the facility, and “fly” the 787 and 767 simulators. Huge thanks to United for this behind-the-scenes experience! #NGPAEverywhere #FlyUnited #BeingUnited #787 #767 PC: Flyjake On IG
