Our simulator instructors aren't cross-qualified as PIC's. They are SIC's. Also, when someone goes under the hood, we need safety pilots. It's allot of liability and likely the instructor council for ALPA would freak-out. This would be beyond their scope of work in the cba. Then you gotta get the FAA to sign off on it. Lots of risk, and liability. Some risk analysis six sigma folks would need to study this. What went down at COEX wasn't cool. Maybe OK for a 135 non sked operator.
