Not that much flying unless you have all primary students. A little less hand flying with commercial students and hardly any with instrument students as they already know how to fly. And once you become an examiner you won't hardly touch the controls unless it is a safety issue.

In all seriousness, I worked there before it was L3 and they worked us so hard it was borderline dangerous. 12-16 hour days for most instructors, five to six days a week. My roommate was also a CFI there and I think we saw each other at our apartment maybe five times over the course of a year. I'm not even joking.
