it was always teach, then Seat fill. Or 2 seat fills

I recall a couple A period sims I had when I was in IQ for a different plane, the SLI was a west coast commuter and wanted to be there about 1/10th as much as me and the other student (which was near 0). I can't imagine anybody is learning anything if you've got an ATL based instructor teaching an F period sim. Everybody just looking at their watch and wishing it was over.

It varies by fleet. I’ve been scheduled for that before, but my scheduled knows I’m ok with doubles

I've been an SLI for awhile now and I commute to it. I like the job but don’t like commuting, however it works for me. I think the most important part of this job is whether or not you enjoy teaching. If you don’t like to instruct then you’re probably not going to enjoy being an SLI and being in the sim even if you live in Atlanta. If you like teaching then you’ll most likely really enjoy it and find it rewarding.
My recommendation is to be an SLI on the most junior fleet. Your pay is based on what you can hold so if someone junior to you is a captain on anything then you’ll get 350 pay even if you teach on the 220. The kicker is when you go fly. On your fly months you bid your seniority just like every line pilot. So if you’re a junior SLI on a senior fleet then your fly months will be on reserve.

I think they get an extra 2 days...like LCA’s. 7 days early vs. 5 for regular pilots. (I think)
