Thank you.

 

This is a full-time position. I have never seen them hire part -time, though some sim-p also instruct at other training facilities, or so I've heard.

 

I recently met a part-time Delta sim instructor, he had pass benefits, JS priv, etc, and he wasn't working too hard. He did other stuff on the side for income.

That got my interest up and wanted to ask....

 

Do these guys get a seniority number or pref interview for a line pilot at AA?

 

Not that I have ever heard. Many over 65, some have lost medical. Unlike some who have a preference program for guys from the schoolhouse, I am unaware of such at AA. With the cost to train instructors and the resources it takes, I'd be surprised to see them start a part time program.

 

No seniority number as it applies to pilots only. It is a ground position only as an instructor.

Make a good impression with and don't **** off the CP if you conduct training for him... and who knows... maybey they will put in a good word for you.
