Yes I’m assuming you’re paying for your own CFI wages.
You shouldn't be.
'A decent school' sounds like a rip off academy. CFIs are everywhere, many want hours and will give you good rates. I can rent a low wing for $65/hr wet through a flying club. Complex single engine for $100/hr wet.
If you're paying for your own CFI wages, then I can't even begin to explain how wrong you are. It's this kind of attitude that will keep pilot pay in the doldrums below 1500 hrs forever.
I get being desperate for hours. I don't get being whorish about it.
