I didn't think LGA EMJ FO was that senior. I could be wrong but I would be the number one FO in LGA EMJ and I have a September 2006 hire date. Does that make me a senior FO? I didn't think so but there's been a lot of movement lately. I might be number two depending if anyone senior to me transferred in.

I didn't get a response to my question a while back, so I'll ask again. Please respond if you know.
I saw that Eagle has CRJ instructor positions open. What is the pay for a CRJ ground instructor there? Is there opportunity for advancement? Are you put on the seniority list or are you considered management?

Now we do have ground instructors that are check airman that are Eagle pilots. Their primary job is ground school instruction, but they also work the sim too. Your problem is that you will have to get hired, bottom of the seniority list, then apply to the schoolhouse. Which is a good gig if you like that kind of work.
Caveat, I am a line pilot, not school house guy. I am on the outside looking in, but I think my info is fairly accurate.

As I said, we do have check airman that serve as ground school instructors. But if you are only a ground school instructor, your are not on Eagle's seniority list. The ground school instructors have their own union; I remember talking with MS (emj instructor) and he sounded as if he was not employed directly by AMR.

Jason with the ATR program was never an Eagle pilot. Straight hire into the ground instructor role. We have another ground school instructor that I have not ran across. I am told he is a aircraft mechanic by trade. We do have former Eagle pilots that are ground school instructors, but they are no longer on the list.

Like I said, I do not have first hand knowledge of their situation. It is what I have deduce from my interaction with the instructors. I very well could be wrong. But I get a strong vibe that a lot of ground instructors are not happy.
