Some of you can't see that this is a trial balloon. Take a look at the Company wish list. There is this item below...


--Discuss Instructor/Evaluators (e.g., permit retired Pilots to be Instructors), modify
Instructor/Evaluator reassignment and release rules and introduce line flying flex--


Try to look past this month of May offer. They don't want to do this to increase the number of PI's in the building. They want to be able to reduce the number of PI's in the future. And I think they want to be able to have one instructor run the sim and do your seat support at the same time. They basically want to hire FTI's to not only do your FTDA's but your FTDB's and sim training too.
