SWAPA Check Airman do the checking, otherwise it’s TWU instructors doing the sim instruction, their contract has scope that prevents line pilots from instructing in the sim.

Line pilots do other forms of instruction, devices, GS, etc.

A few months ago the company “hired” former instructors as “pilots” and sent them right back into the sim. So, a member of both unions at once I guess?

If the company wants knowledgeable, experienced instructors they need to disband the concept and just use seniority list guys. The product as it stands now is very inconsistent.
