I would suggest moving to an area with good weather and lots of rich people with lots of spare time. For LA that sounds like Santa Monica. You're not going to fly 100/mo without really trying however!
I'm looking for a flight school with international students where each student usually fly's everyday. I wouldn't need to try very hard at a flight school that needs CFIs and has plenty of International students. Having 3-6 students that fly 5-10 times a week would be ideal. I would consider reasonable pay to be roughly $18-$30 per flight and ground hour. I need hours quick for a part 91 job that I'm about 600 short on.
