May sound a bit weird... but is looked down upon by other pilots if a person was to be a ground instructor before being a pilot within the same company? I would assume the salary would be comparable to that of a first year FO but please if I am wrong please correct me. Any thoughts that you might be able to offer I would really appreciate... It seems that with the trend of lower time pilots failing out due to ground school grades, sims, checkrides, etc. that having taught the aircraft previously would offer a person an advantage and allow that person to spend more time on other portions of training. What are your thoughts and reccomendations?

Just a thought...
