Positions are as needed. I was picked up 2 months ago with 3 others (4 brought on). Since then 2 more have been added and just recently they put out a letter that they are looking for a couple more. Just as needed.

Most ground instructors are FOs so thats quite common. Most are more senior but some like myself are not. They "prefer" an off probation pilot however myself and at least one other are still in our first year as FO with the company.

Pay is your regular contractural longevity rate plus an override. 16 events (days) per month at 5 hours of pay per event yeilding an 80 Hour per month guarentee. (14 off schedule).

You are allowed to fly on your off days so long as you still get your one off in 7 for FARs. You get auto lineholder status so no matter what your seniority you can pick up open time. All flying you do is paid on top of instructing pay at normal pay (no override). I have no problem flying 30-40 hours per month and still having some time for me. December i left min days off and have about 60 hours of flying in my schedule but thats on the high end.

If you enjoy teaching, and dont mind flying less, it is a great position. When your number comes for upgrade you can do so and remain an instructor. (no reserve...)
