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.
No, the position currently being hired for is not a contractor position, it's a full time employee position. They bid on schedules which all have 16 events on them. Instructors are based in either DEN and MCO, no living out of hotels. Schedules all based on seniority which is based on instructor class date. Worst schedules typically go to the most junior instructor, whether that's a line pilot or non-seniority list instructor.
