Any help appreciated.....

Ignore the post that implied my husband was being lazy. The poster has been away from the school for over a year and, in my opinion, wasn't really qualified to speak about the current situation.

Length of time really depends on: what location you are at (busy, slow?), student loads (lots of students or just a few), what you are teaching them (privates? career students? Add-ons?), weather, and sometimes random factors like whether the moon is in the 7th house of jupiter on the 3rd wednesday of the 2nd month of the year that starts with J.

In general, the larger locations in the southern parts of the US tend to get the most flight time. There are more students and better, consistent weather.
