His sim instructor just like other pilots probably doesn’t have a degree. Doesn’t volunteer, the older pilot group doesn’t see the value in volunteering n believe it should be about piloting that’s it. Probably doesn’t have a professional resume. They stop applying!!!! Got comfy with their seniority. Nearing the age of retirement. Doesn’t wanna start over. Zero networking, zero events conventions attended. The older pilot isn’t gonna follow a regional chief pilot on social media and get buddy buddy with him meet for lunch and have him as a
mentor!( GEMS )
Just to name some reasons.
It’s called a job HUNT for a reason. The food doesn’t come to you you gotta get creative.
