That's great news about the 10 who got numbers. There is a noticeable difference between instructors who do fly the line at JB and those who haven't. I hope in the future we can get all instructors seniority numbers when they are hired.

Most are. Many are hired as non-seniority instructors and apply for numbers a year later. They have to apply and interview just like any other pilot.
Some instructors started as regular pilots and went into the training department. It's a mix, really. The pay is based on FO Airbus rates, so once they can hold captain they have a decision to make, as the pay doesn't go up to captain rates.

Kindof. It's less than second year Airbus FO, but more than first year pay. When they get numbers they stay on salary until their seniority can hold second year pay, then they step up to that from then on.

Was not aware of that. Had an instructor tell me that too. Maybe he just didn't feel like explaining the details.

It may have been second year pay at some point, but it didn't move up to the newer rates. I'm not sure. Second year now is in the mid 80s. The new hire instructors are at $70k, I believe.

What are the typical experience qualifications look like for people getting called to B6. TPIC/TT, etc??... what's the ratio between AF and civil 121 pilots look like, is it 50/50?? do they hire mostly military experience?
