I suspect it's due to airline mins going up. I've been chasing the mins for about 6 months now and most of the other instructors at my school are in the same boat. It's only going to get worse.

That and the fact that there is a lack of students at some of the locations. Some locations the instructors were flying 100 hours while some only got like 10-20 hours a month.

I did my CFI, II, MEI there a year and a half ago, and at that time I was offered an opportunity to go through stands, but I turned it down for a different job.

Then a couple months ago, and another job later, after only getting ~200 hours and 0 multi in a year I contacted the person in charge of hiring about getting a position, and I was told that they were no longer hiring people outside of their full program, unless they were a 2 year CFI and/or had a lot of instructing experience and PA-44 time (apparently my 70 hours isn't enough). He blamed it on the 1500 rule and CFI's not getting plucked out to go to the airlines at 500-700 hours.
