Fun times at Skywest

Saw the reference. I was taking a jibe at you for taking 5 pages to research, and admit, you were wrong, and that an ATL320B sim instructor was right. ;)

I have no ego. I don't care who is right, just what is right. That motto I hold in most aspects of life. :)
 
No thanks! I'll let you do the math from the pay tables on 75 hours of MD88 CA pay vs 100+ hours of 777 FO pay. :) Plus I'm home every night!


/thread hijacked... YARRR!

I was jus going to crush his spirit by telling him that you're wearing comfortable khakis, spooning with the wife (nightly) and making mad dog captain pay. :)
 
Wait, what does an instructor pay?!

I don't pay anything.

yuk yuk yuk.


(5 hours an event, guarantee is 17 events, so 85 hours. Pay rate is the largest equipment you can hold in your seat, which for me is 777. I'll be at 17 events a month this month and next month, but come sept itll be back up to 19-21 events.)

Holy cow that is impressive! To make sure I understand, it doesn't matter what you currently hold as far as aircraft, they just look at your "ability" to hold something on the seniority list, even if you don't bid that? Correct? If so, why isn't there a mad rush for every pilot who lives in ATL to go teach in the sim!?!

50% of the airlines I've flown for pay instructors based on what their seniority can hold, not on what they bid.

Sheesh. Seniority means stuff at your company?! (This coming from me, with 250+ junior pilots on an 1100 pilot seniority list making more money!)

@Polar742 knows the plight.

I've only worked at two airlines and both only one aircraft type. I don't know what I would do with myself if I could bid more than one type. Oh the possibilities, almost makes one giddy.
