There is no minimum guarantee for DGS guys. The scale tops out at about $450/sim, in round numbers. You can make a good living, but there are NO guarantees, sorta like commission sales. DGS instructor gets the same non rev status as a line pilot, and is jump seat eligible on main line DL. Unless you are a retired Delta instructor/Line Check Airman, it's easier to get hired as a line pilot, than as a DGS instructor.

If it's who I think it is, you are correct on all accounts. Matter of fact, has gotten better with age

False. DGS just like DAL employee. Ahead of all retirees.

Had a sim with a DGS guy a few years ago. Said COBRA was his only option thru DGS. Not sure if that's changed since. Obviously, if you have insurance thru spouse, this is less of an issue.
