Just smart enough to operate the machines
Planning on relocating to Texas, since I have some family there, and where I am in NJ doesn't seem to be leading anywhere. Wondering if anyone knows of some good cfi jobs there. I consider myself a good instructor, and I give my all. I prefer working at small schools, but I realize that business can be slow and the big schools may have more steady work. I'm mostly looking for something that will allow me to pay the bills, but I'm also curious to see if there are schools that offers any of these:

scenario based training syllabus
salary
raises/ opportunity for advancement
air conditioned airplanes
fun stuff like tailwheel and seaplane
multi engine or turbine time
opportunity for charter connections/work

My times are 1770 total and 700 dual given.Really, I'm interested in anywhere out west, but I'm focusing my search on Texas at the moment.
 
Lots of aviation in TX, and it's a pretty big state. Got a city preference?
 
I was looking in Austin, SA, and Dallas, but my job search has yielded a few interviews outside of flight instructing. So I will see what happens.
 
In Austin proper, you might talk to Austin Academy of Aviation, University Flying Club, and Chandelle Flying Club. Pilot's Choice is up in Georgetown, too.

ProMark aviation in Burnet is a nice little operation, too.
 
Might try Proflight Academy at Skyport in San Marcos, TX (just outside Austin). Decent equipment (172s w/ G1000 and a new PA-44 w/G500), Redbird simulators, scenario-based curriculum, and I understand CFIs to be on salary.
 
Pilots choice is definitely a school worth looking at. Upon graduation next year, I will be looking for a flight instructing job in the Austin area as well.
 
I am currently instructing out of pilots choice, not a bad gig part-time. pay is maybe average. PM me with questions.
 
US Aviation over in Denton is always looking for new instructors. With the amount of dual given you have, you are looking at the top pay scale with them. I believe it was anywhere between $23-25 an hour.
