Worst schedules typically go to the most junior instructor, whether that's a line pilot or non-seniority list instructor.
Good info. What would be more helpful is a comparison to sim instructor positions at other airlines (of which I have no idea about)…

According to several of the new instructors I've talked to, we're now paying more than a couple of the other airlines (SWA, JBU for example), and quite a bit more than some of the non-airline sim outfits, with more time off and better schedule flexibility. I would imagine the landscape is changing quickly though across the board.

I think we’ve got some acronyms mixed up here. A couple of the Chiefs are going through LCA training. DPEs don’t exist at the airlines…we have APDs. Sort of similar in some ways to a DPE but different.
