NorCal CFI here. There are only a few options here for those seeking 100+ hours per month. If I weren't so close to finishing right now I'd be in Phoenix. Schools there are offering signing bonuses and jobs over the phone. Good luck

I'm currently looking at 2 flight schools very seriously. One is in Florida called aerosim and the other is in denton tx called US Aviation academy. I want to be in a city or town with lots of flying, and pretty girls. I know that flying is why I am there but I'm sure I will have off time here and there and I would love to have a little bit of a social life while I work hard to build atp minimums. I am a very very serious instructor but living life is important as well in my opinion. In other words I want the best of both worlds while accomplishing my goals. These are my final 2. Any feed back of any kind would be helpful thanks.

That said, I think we are a great place to work as a new CFI. We do want CFIs to work hard - we want you, like our students, to be professional pilots.
I assume you already have, but if not, call us up and ask for Erica in recruiting.
Here are some quotes from former CFIs:
"I worked at US Aviation Academy from 2010-2012. From my first week in Standards class, I met a life-long friend who became my roommate. I began instructing in the Chinese training department with three students and as much flying as I could handle. In my two years at US Aviation, I became a check instructor, giving private through instrument stage check and check rides which helped my resume immensely. With the help of US Aviation, I achieved my multi-engine instructor rating at a reduced cost and two months later was hired at Empire Airlines and later Horizon Air. My time at US Aviation greatly prepared me for training and flying the line. It was a great experience in my life and I have many fond memories of my time there.
"I started working at US Aviation Academy in May 2010 after I graduated from college. I have to say that working at US Aviation was a great choice because not only did I gain a lot of flight time in a short amount of time but I gained a lot of experience that has served me well in my career. You will be challenged here but in the long run it will pay off huge." Cuauhtemoc Nunez First Officer American Eagle
