FWIW, the DGS instructors at DAL can’t do checking events (LOEs), evaluations (MVs), or what are essentially “progress” checks (usually the last lesson in a series) required before a checking or evaluation event during transition courses.
That leaves a WHOLE lot of sims they can do during CQ and transition training.
