FedEx Sim instructor question
Considering a way into Fedex as a Sim instructor. My understanding is that after 3 years your guaranteed an interview. Any feedback about the pay, schedule and positive and negative would be very helpful.
Thanks
Thanks

From what I have heard:
When interviewing for the sim instructor positions, you now do the pilot interview at the same time. If given the opportunity, when your 3 years is up, you move to the line. You retain your years of service for retirement I believe, however you start at the bottom of the seniority list.

I have a bud who did this, he is now flying on the line. His word of caution was, the course why put you through is for upgrading FO to capt's...guys who have been flying on the line for a number of years...so if you screw it up it may stop any chances to move to the line in the future.
