I have a very close friend that retired from Delta Air Lines and opted to work at FedEx versus going the DGS route. FedEx is paying a much better salary (90K/yr... not a per sim event... salary only)
He had ZERO time in the B777 but that is were they put him and he is a very happy camper working for Purple.
Best of luck,
OC

I think the DGS guys can work more than that if they want to.

I thought I heard that DGS are 95,000 a year doing normal "full" months (17 sims).
We have one certain DGS instructor on the 320 that teaches in the fixed base that averages around 25 events a month. I've seen her do 28!
She is one absolutely top notch instructor, too.

That's about $168,000/yr. If they are paid $500/sim. Nice gig for a retired pilot.... if you can stand to be in the box for 28 periods a month!
If she's double banging, that's only 14 days a month, which would be much better!

She's married to a Cathay guy (quit NW on his furlough- whoops!), so when he's gone on his long trips, she cranks out the cash in our schoolhouse.
