Why in the world would anyone leave a BE350 job to teach primary students??? I can't understand this at all, there is no learning taking place for you when you are sitting in the right seat of a C-172, I operated a Part 91 BE-200 and asked FSI in HOU if someone could monitor the class, no problem was the answer and my friend / CFI got to go through the complete ground school (recurrent) for free. My strategy would be to make yourself so valuable to the CP that he will do whatever to keep you, at least find a better position before leaving. Good luck!
Don't quit to flight instruct, but you should quit.
You are being taken advantage of, just so you can get that all important turbine PIC time. They know you want it, and that's obvious by your compensation. There are operators that fly Caravans and King Air 90s, 100s, and 200s all over the country and I bet 75% would offer a better salary, plus not make you pay for your replacement if you took a sick day. Since you have some BE-200 time, take it and run.
You show 1200 hrs TT, that puts you in the 135 IFR PIC. Start looking for your next job, weight your options and move when you find something better. You are not building your resume in your present position, and it does not sound like a career position. You need MEL IFR PIC to make the move into the better jobs. I would even consider a tour at a regional to build time, even a T-Prop regional would get you PIC time fairly quickly.
I logged 14 hours in a 350 as SIC, it still counts for total time and I believe you need two pilots in that airplane depending on passenger loads but don't quote me on that. Still sounds like a pretty screwed up company.
