Retired guys and contract company (DGS) that does 90% of the instruction and sims.
That is not correct - they are carried on the staffing documents in whatever acft they fly/instruct on. There is no separate instructor category for staffing. Typically sim instructors worked a few months in the sim, a few months off on the line with the category adjusted for their availibility. LCA's either fly OE or a regular schedule or a combination thereof. I think you are overs estimating the effect of them coming back to the line
