Sim Instructors
Might anyone have some insight to the pay and benefits for the AA/GSW Sim Instructors?
I have been told a few have been able to get into AA via the schoolhouse. I am a current sim instructor so my AA app doesn’t get much traction due to flying less than 100 hours per year.
Any details would help. Thanks

From what I know from former work colleagues, it would be extremely rare to move to mainline for a sim instructor position. However this is second hand and maybe others have better intel. Another option would be to instruct at a WO regional and have the flow as a backup to trying to get hired on at mainline.

It is rare, because most sim instructors are either retired, dont have a medical, or just like the lifestyle. In CLT the one guy who did apply to move from sim to flight deck made it just fine. Your milage may vary but it seems a way to get a foot in the door.
