Well, let an Instructor who works there tell you.. Instructors make $10 per flight hour. All ground instruction is free. There is a 141 instrument ground school that will pay $10 an hour as well.( Usually 40-50 hrs) . As for flight time and students, every new instructor that comes online gets at least two new students right away. It seems like the veteran guys get screwed like myself. Right now I'm averaging 40 hrs a month. ($400). The bonus is MULTI TIME! I have 600 tt and 400 multi.
