No, the position currently being hired for is not a contractor position, it's a full time employee position. They bid on schedules which all have 16 events on them. Instructors are based in either DEN and MCO, no living out of hotels. Schedules all based on seniority which is based on instructor class date. Worst schedules typically go to the most junior instructor, whether that's a line pilot or non-seniority list instructor.

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.
