that is not correct.
they surplused off the 756 and 777 they are offered positions in TK.
the CCS message for instructors is for any pilot at the airline.
the surplused 756/777 instructors will need a full QUAL on the new fleet plus A full IOE and full consolidation. Then they will need fleet specific IE training. Anyone from the line that is not current and qualified on the fleet they are hired too will require the same.
the surplused PIs will not be ready to teach until January at the earliest. New hire instructors will be able to instruct before them.
