Yea sim would be ok so long as you had an out in life. They make around 80K and go home everyday. However with things the way they are right now some of them pull worse hours than a junior reserve guy and they are salary so when the company ask you to pull two sims in a day instead of one you don't see the benifit. However at flight safety it really seemed like everyone there had a great attitude and like their jobs.

At XJT, we have a good deal. I was a qualified line pilot, then became a ground instructor..... I have 14/15 days off and am home every night...... I make more than a comparable line pilot..... Plus, I can pick up open time flying on my off days at normal flight pay and therefore can make SIGNIFICANTLY more than any equivalent line pilot..... I hand pick good/productive trips..... even day trips where I am STILL home.
We are treated well, and it is not only good experience, but also a great resume builder and path to many future opportunities (line check airman, sim instructor, etc)
