"as for building time as an instructor my instrument instructor had been there 8 months and had 120 hours, his friend at 8 months had 80, so you should figure on a minimum of 12 months of instructing which makes the program minimum 24 months and several instructors that i know are on food stamps."

This is one of the big problems with this type of school, supply and demand. They create the supply of students, however, the demand for Regional pilots is not up to the supply of CFI's that have finished the required time and hours. How can a CFI live on 15 hours of pay in one month. That is only correct if your stated CFI flight training hours is correct.
