Out of the 40 or so instructors that were there, most didn't get hired until they had at least 1200tt, and we all had several hundred multi at that time.
That's true. That's about the time period I signed up to fly in the military and some of my friends decided to CFI instead of signing up. They had no problem building up hours though. At that time they had no shortage of students. Some of them were flying better than 120 hours a month.
