THIS!
As someone who went through two full training cycles at TK last year, I can attest to the problems with instruction now.
While 98% were great, there was definitely a difference in instructions from those who had time and had flown the aircraft operationally, and those who had not.

But just as the PROFIT SHARING Thread shows, the view from management is- it doesn’t matter and it’s important to place the blame on the union and away from the suites.

I understand that new(ish),younger pilots may be giddy with being an instructor on heavy metal.. at 9th yr FO pay.
But what ever happened to being a Pilot?!

It use to be-
You needed High Multi Time
High Flight Time
TPIC Time
4yr College degree
Clean Record

to be hired…
and as such, you received-
Decent pay (increasing with seniority)
Decent Quality of Life
A Pension when you retired at 60

The second part was taken away at many carriers due to bankruptcy. But there was a drive to get them back~
Now the first part is no longer true so the second part won’t be true either.

Not trying to thread drift.
someone posted the pay/hour difference between being a line holder vs a TK instructor.
someone else mentioned being home every night.
You be the judge but it would seem to me, being a junior TK instructor is losing a lot of QoL for pay.
Should you have the option to choose.. sure.
But again, were you hired as a Professional Airline Pilot or to be an instructor?

If our company won’t set any “standards”*, do we as individuals need to set the standards?

food for thought.
