Having a few conversations with current and past FSI/CAE instructors, this seems to be the norm for FULL-TIME instructors. Part-time and contract instructors are permitted to fly contract work on the side as they can set their schedule of availability.
Odds are coming from the regionals you would expect pay slightly less than CA salary around $60k at FSI into a light/mid size jet (CE-560/HS-125/LR-series) for a contracted duration if they type you. This may or may not be more attractive than your regional.
