The Simulator Technicians at Southwest Airlines keep our flight simulators operating and available for Pilot training at an astounding 99.8% of the time. Each year during the holiday season, this technical staff find the time to add a touch of warmth to the holidays by installing festive lighting and ornaments on each of the simulators and around the Training Center. As our aircraft fleet grows, so does the simulator fleet. This growth makes the decorating task become a bit overwhelming. Beginning this year, the Technicians have invited personnel from other Training Center groups and other departments to join in the fun of decorating. As always, the Pilots coming to the Center in December really appreciate the great atmosphere. We want to acknowledge the Employees who made the 2011 Holiday brighter with their efforts.
