I was also an LCA at my previous airline, along with probably 75% or more of our pilots who were prior check airman or instructors/stan eval guys in the military. I came from a "commuter" airline with a training department that was more checking than training. 50% of my new hire class didn't make it through training, and they were proud of that. So I'll argue I absolutely want check airman who really enjoy teaching. They guys who were doing it for the pay were always the forward leaners that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
