Saw this ad online and thought it was interesting that they were not asking for much in experience (at least in the ad).

it's nothing new, NWA (the actual NWA) hires college grads to do their ground school stuff. pay is around $40k to start I hear. You get an SIC type in one of their a/c and do some ferry work every now and then. Not a bad gig.

Ha! Funny how they paid GIs more than pilots... to start atleast.
 
One thing it does not mention in your post that it mentions on the website is that you must have been a pilot on the EMB-145.
 
I know that NWA has had a few ground instructors with no time in type at all and they were teaching it! A buddy of mine went through ground school at Air Wisconsin 6 months ago and there were some guys that were ground instructors for NWA. Not a lot of TT compared to the rest of the class but they had something like 300-500 hours in heavy-iron sims.

Seems like an interesting route to take than the traditional one.
 
As far as I know, you dont have to be a E145 pilot. I interned in the training department for Chautauqua from Jan '06 to May '06, and when I was getting ready to leave, the training department manager asked me if I would be interested in being a ground school instructor. I said NO THANKS!

Personally, I feel I would have been laughed out of the classroom by the students once they found out I had no 121 experience and no TT in the E145. One of the training department clerks, who is also a former Gulfstreamer (that didn't get hired) took a position doing that. I told him good luck.
