Sure agree it would be awesome to have our own instructors in the box. Leave FSI guys in the classroom.
But as said, we make to much coin to be spinning circle on a computer screen.
To be effective we'd have to leave a TR or CA in there for months to get and keep proficient profiles used under those 2 hours blocks per pilot. Think how negative and frustrating the training would become if a TR was there and sucked at running the box, cause they were there for a few tours then on the line and repeat.
FSI can't keep people cause they don't pay well and treatment of employees. ICT has no problem keeping instructors and the morale is high. Don't forget, we are talking about Wichita.
Our focus is how to keep our recent hires at the 2 - 5 years hired point. But that's a whole different thread.
