FI failed sim check on day I had mine. Couldn't get to grips with handling big aircraft with loads of inertia. Can't really see how loads of hrs sitting next to someone else trying to kill you helps in an airline environment. If it's so helpful then why is an FI rating not a pre-requisite for Line Trainer/TRI/TRE?
This is not a dig at FIs who can be as talented/useless as the next pilot. After a few hundred hrs in the commercial environment I just don't think there's really much of a difference.
