PSI questions
I'm considering taking a position at Envoy as a sim instructor. I have 5 years at Skywest in the CRJ but have never flown the E-175.
Can anyone share their experiences working as a PSI or being trained by a PSI?
What is the training course like for new sim instructors?
Anything helpful that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

PSIs are few and far between at Envoy. I am sure it can be done, but a couple hundred hours in the airplane would make a much better instructor.

As a new DEC last spring I believe I had 8 CPTs and 10 sims with a new instructor every 1-3 lessons. I had one PSI for one lesson, and while he followed the syllabus, he was noticeably less knowledgeable and helpful than all the other Envoy instructors and apologized several times for that. I have flown the CRJ and the E175 FMS and guidance panel are much more complicated to learn and to use. People joke that the E175 is the Wonder Jet--"I wonder why it's doing that?" Once you learn to use it well, it will plan and initiate your step down descents for you. The difficulty is learning when you should be in which mode and what the limitations are, and monitoring when a different color on the guidance panel means it isn't going to do what you want.
