Same to me. I mean I have never had a problem with a DGS guy and the last one I had was really good, started flying props back in the 60s for a major now defunct airline and he was very informative. So I'm not saying push them out but as some retire slide more line pilots in.

it just seems to me, in my humble experience, that nothing made me a better pilot than teaching. doing something masks how well you know it, teaching puts everything you know out there and if you have any self worth you work hard to know what you're doing.

Cycle people in and out of the training center even if only trained to do a few events seems like it'd be worth it for the quality of the training and line flying. Hell, every other trip for all I care. 4-day trip, 3-days off, 4-day sims.
