I think what Mickey means is that there is no shortage of work for newly qualified FI's
Well, not really, since they are
Admittedly part time
My experience is that for PPL training there is very little work around; existing FIs are flying much less than they used to; and fewer people are now doing the FI course because of the poor prospects. It may be that the latter trend is now feeding through and supply is adjusting to the lower demand. All you need to do is look at CAA licence issue statistics. Taking JAR PPL(A) and NPPL issues, the numbers went down by 22% between 2005 and 2010, and that was after a decade in which the decline was even greater. And I suspect the numbers have taken an even sharper dip in 2011 and 2012.
So if FIs have "no shortage of work" then it can only be because a lot less people are opting to become FIs.
