I was simply using your post to pose the question. As well as asked YOU specifically because you seem to be able to remember certain things from a long long time ago about issues like contracts, etc.
. Well, 30 years ago all the sim instructors were Captains. Everything from that point to today's training ops were concessions made in small bites, in every contract, to 'save money' obviously. My last 777 recurrent training was given to me by a F/O who's seniority number was about 11,000.
Oh, we had real ground schools back then too, with real systems courses taught by mechanics who knew the systems inside and out. Today you get a CD and watch it at home. All those ground school instructors are gone. Same with the Ops Specs group. We had a day long class just on Ops. Specs taught by Mother Malone. Another concession to save the company money.
Now...GET OFF MY LAWN!!
