Hi, just out of curiousity, what is it like to be an Airline Training Captain?
Like how often do you actually fly on the line, and train other pilots in the Sim?
I read one pilot on a blog mention they have to fly a certain amount of days each month on the line to keep current. But they get first pick on which trips to fly (even if it means bumping another pilot
). But they get a more flexible lifestyle for family and even Christmas off.
Do you get an instructor pay premium in addition to your contracted salary?
I'm sure it varies with airlines, but any insight would help.
Thanks
