Guys at my school regularly knock out 60 - 70 hours a week during the winter months. As long as you find a busy school the slightly worse weather and shorter day need not see you starving on the breadline it seems...
Judging by the instructors who have recently left it looks like you only need 700hrs to get a regional job or at worst a twin air taxi position. Don't think I'll be instructing for very long somehow if the hiring boom keeps going which is a shame because I am enjoying the hell out myself.
Snigs - sooooo sorry to have missed you the other day but after a misted in morning I was working the hell out of the afternoon by doing two hour sorties. Thanks for the fan mail and the coffee money was spent on a pint of Stella in the Horseshoe last night - thank you.
Happy flying chaps, WWW
