FOs can be instructors at United?
What are the minimum requirements?
Can you be an instructor in a fleet that you are not actually flying? New FO with previous experience on 777 for example, but flying the 320 on property.
How about your base? Must be based at Denver to do it or how it works?
How about pay?
Thank you!!

You must be off probation, and apply for and be hired as an instructor. Pay is 90 hours at whatever aircraft you could hold, regardless of what you actually fly. So any 737 instructor with a pulse could hold a 777 FO right now, therefore they get paid as if they're a WB FO, capped at the 9 year mark. A 2 year 73 TI is paid as a 2 year 777 FO x 90 hrs a month. A 12 year FO only makes the 9 year pay band. Most instructors seem to be in that "I could be a CA, but why sit on reserve forever" niche
