Oh I don’t know… How about home every night and on holidays if you live in base and work in the sims/training department. How about variety is the spice of life. Provides an opportunity to not just fly the line for decades and do something different. And if your contract is good it can also be extremely lucrative.

At Delta the pilots who teach in the sim are paid the highest of what they can hold in seat (so basically the A350/330 and 76-400 rates since those are going to new hire FOs and Captains are all making at least the 7ER rate). And you can pick up extra. Or go pick up a premium trip out on the line. And most importantly, the more line pilots who teach in the sim, the more overall pilots required on the seniority list. More jobs. More job security.
