I can’t substantiate but we had one or two in my newhire class, supposedly at least one of them already quit. I can only assume for the reasons you state. The position is a contractor position, pays just shy of $800 per session and 16 a month. Wild speculation from me, that could drive someone to quit, is being a local area retiree who was told “maybe could be up to” 16 and it ended up being assigned all 16. At the rate they were trying to train. Idk if they only keep you in DEN but I could see getting sent out to MCO living out of a hotel for a week at a time, and that would suck. And like you said, worst schedules I bet. All my instructors said your sim seniority begins when you start sim instructing, regardless of company seniority. Makes sense.
