From the united pilot contract:



"I/E" (Instructor/Evaluators) are required to be rated and current line pilots in the equipment that they teach. Academic instructors (ground school instructors) don't have that requirement, but they also won't teach flight procedures. However they occasionally will take students to the sim to demonstrate aircraft systems in preparation for the flight training portion of a particular course.
