Cool Alteon Instructors

Hi all,

I was wondering what you guys who work for Boeing/Alteon as instructors enjoy training in the sim? Personally I really enjoy training and learning more about CRM.

Sounds like a great job. Do you miss flying the aircraft that you train people to fly?

Just curious.

I can't speak for the instructors at Alteon, but I can give you a general overview of sim instructors.

I have found that they fall into 4 broad categories:

Retired Airline pilots

Unable to fly: Lost medical/divorce with children/other family issues

Furloughed pilots

Professional sim jockeys

Some miss flying, some are waiting to get back in the cockpit and others are just passing time. I see some of each from each of the 4 groups.
