Jet Blue Sim Instructors pay

Anyone have an idea as to what the pay scale is for Sim instructors at the MCO facility?

From: A320/321 First Officer

Jet Blue Sim Instructor

Looking for a good estimate on pay and whether or not they have an opportunity to move to a first officer position at some point.

I believe the current agreement for a “instructor pilot” is 2 years teaching at JBU, making roughly $70k/yr (without any overtime) and then you have the option to move to the line if you want.

You also get a seniority number the day you start, unlike in the past.

Schedule/questions

I am seriously considering putting an app in for this position. I haven’t had much luck getting an interview with JB in the past. I am a former part 121 FO and CA(12 years ago). I instructed at FlightSafety for 8 years after that. I currently fly corporate jets, but I was wondering if the FlightSafety background might help get my foot in the door. Can anyone provide more info regarding schedule, & QOL? Can you commute to this job and slum it in a crash pad? Does seniority start day one on campus, or does it start when you actually begin teaching? Thanks in advance.
