Wow. Really?
1. My old airline (Part 121) farmed out the entire training department to Flight Safety.
2. American Airlines instructors are not on the seniority list.
3. United Airlines had non seniority list instructors prior to and during the 1985 strike.
To be clear, I am NOT advocating for any change in the status quo of having United Airlines pilots on the seniority list conduct our training. We would be fools to even consider it.
