full-flight simulators, and train up to 7,000 pilots annually.

a second 717-200 full-flight simulator will join this one in
support of these anchor customers.

full-flight simulator received level "D" certification for both
variants and will support AirTran's new Boeing Next Generation (NG)
fleet.
