No CMEL here. I'm a new CFI (January), and so far this pay period I've logged less than six flight hours instructing. Rest of the week ain't looking good either, so with the new pay increase for the Caravan SIC, it makes sense for a Pacific Northwest instructor to GTFO. Summers are great, but it would be a shame to have to instruct 7 days a week and not get to enjoy said summer while attempting to make up for the lousy winter. The 14 on/off schedule sounds like a winner.

I'll be coming from the Bremerton area of WA. I grew up in IA, college in MN, so I'm familiar with the lower 48 standard for cold. Still, bracing for sure!
