Good thing we have all those street captains out there then. The captain instructor role dissipated the minute the company decided to hire street captains. Just chat with some FO’s they will let you know. Just because CA is in front of your name doesn’t mean you need to be a instructor. Now a days the guy in the right seat knows as much or more than the guy in the left.
