Best way to avoid that is to try and find an older CFI. Yeah, I know that you could say it's a form of discrimination, but you are a lot less likely to have your CFI leave because s/he got the airline job that s/he was really waiting for and just using teaching to build hours / earn money / fill in the time.
Unfortunately, most CFIs are only there until they get the job they "really" want. The best teachers (and the ones who stick around) are the ones who are there becuase THIS is what they want to do.
