35 Sim Instructors Resign
 
35 sim instructors have resigned over cuts to their already degraded conditions. Company is considering using FOs to run sims.

You get the employees you deserve. Who would of thought?
Put the worlds smallest violin on standby for next time you bump into an "overworked" STC.
"Market forces" anybody?

Good for them. I have learned a lot from you gentlemen over the years, CX was lucky to have such a talented group of professionals with so much experience.

You deserve better.

Now some of the overachieving iCadet FOs are on WhatsApp trying to get info on how they can become a SFI... The cycle continues

They don't seem to realise that SIM instructors will be in great demand as the industry recovers and all those recurrencies need doing.

I cant wait to have a 24 year old icadet sitting behind me in the sim trying to teach. I hope you guys like swiss cheese sandwiches.

The freighter Instagram queen will shortly be teaching all of us a thing or 2 soon in the sim. Sharpen up boys!

Short memories.

Was it not 10 years ago when not a single 747 instructor had actually flown a 747? One of them had never flown a jet.

Memorylapse 5th Oct 2021 11:07

Of course - we even have some of them in the house now. The Kiwi dude has never touched a 74 in his life.

Good for the instructors standing up for themselves. If more pilots took a stand, aviation would be a better place, (Covid notwithstanding).

Best to keep your mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open it and remove all doubt.

First off, is this true? If so, did they do it in unison? And how many did we have to begin with?

Klimax 5th Oct 2021 19:18

Just as a reminder! There were a lot of utterly, outdated and crappy Sim instructors (Gweilos, minus 1 on Singaporean) back in the 2000-2010s. Not sure if some of those were cleared out over the later years. Just saying.

No not in unison. The grandfathering of their contract was for 12 months and they have slowly been departing in the lead up to that expiring. Perhaps a sign of things to come in the next 6-12 months as the pilot grandfathering expires.

All of the major union airlines in the U.S. use FOs as sim instructors. Is there some rule against that in Hong Kong?

A previous company I worked for used Training First Officers for sims - they were all taken upto TRE as part of the job. They were some of the best trainers I’ve had.

It was a good way of nurturing talent early and keeping pilots engaged when time to command was decades.
