Pay increase for the line check airman

Things are looking better I guess. I wonder if this will retain some of the older guys who are check.

Good topic....I think it will have a significant impact on the guys that wanted to stay for QOL and now can justify it by pay if they have 3 to 4 years left to fly. This is case-by-case basis but a good move by management. Who knows what the future holds....things are changing quickly. Comes down to having options.

Just wondering if Envoy is looking for ground instructors and what they're paying?

I'm not sure if they're looking for ground instructors at the moment. And if they were, I've heard they don't pay those guys much. However, they are looking for sim instructors for the 145 and are paying $80,000/yr.

I hope AA pays better now.
I was told AA wanted former retired line pilots to come back as sim instructors thus such low pay, after all they were getting a retirement check.

I hear one of the AA regionals were paying around $50,000 and the new hire pilots are getting over $60,000. Odd that the instructors are payed less than newbies

I would imagine that their target for that position is medically disqualified pilots.

Our sim instructors who are actual Envoy pilots (on the seniority list) are paid quite handsomely, easily six figures without even picking up any extra OT flying on the line. The company is supplementing our current sim instructors due to current high training demands by hiring additional off the street sim instructors. Those sim instructors who aren't Envoy pilots will be paid a lower salary, $80,000/yr. The ground instructors don't fly the airplane or the sim, aren't on the seniority list, and aren't ALPA. They are paid the lowest of all.

While the higher pay is always nice, it has a downside as well. There are now some less desirable people joining IOE simply for the money. Glad mine is done and over with.
