It would be great to fly with some experienced "old timers"
Anywhere you go you're likely to find new CFIs. That said, the chief CFI at Dulles Aviation has been there forever. He was my boss when I worked there 12 years ago. There are also several CFIs still working that were on staff when I was there.
Although experience is important, I've personally found that sometimes I'd rather have the enthusiasm of a new instructor over the cynicism and indifference of a guy that has come to realize CFIing isn't what he wants to be doing.
