Never understood why a sim instructor gets paid whatever they can hold, but a LCA just gets a 15% over ride, and only when doing a LC. I mean who’s at greater risk?
Is that still the pay structure?
Plus that 15% override is only on the block. So a fleet like the 717 gets hosed because a lot of the trips have a decent amount of credit where other fleets have more hard time trips.
