Instructors here fly a LOT, i think the average we were told was 100 a month. Standards was fast paced and informative, I feel prepared after a week of class work. They do appear to be hurting for instructors due to the amount of instructors leaving(built time and moved on)/ and the amount of students coming in. I'm pretty sure they had students assigned to all of us the day we got here, just had to pass through stans/written/checkout flight. Overall, seems like a good place to be(disclaimer: again, i'm a new hire) but the staff seems very chill, instructors build time fast, and you get your eyes opened by flying around the dallas/ft.worth bravo with students whose english skills may be (are) questionable. Ill post an update when i've been here a little longer and have become properly jaded.
Thanks for posting! I hope you have a great experience at USAA.
