Faced with the following options to pursue, which do you think would be the most beneficial and get me to the jets/decent pay the quickest?
I'm 24, have a bachelor's degree, and part 141 commercial (just over 200 hours w/ 60 m.e.)
My goal is to fly for united, delta, etc.
1. Flight instruct @ a college and get 400 hours per year.
=tons of knowledge, graduate credits, aerobatics, gliders, decent pay, multi engine if I stick around for more than 2 years.
2. Flight instruct @ a 61/141 school and get 900 hours per year.
=maybe a few instrument students eventually, very little knowledge or multiengine time, good pay.
3. Fly pipeline and get 1500 hours per year.
=great pay, tons of hours, little new knowledge, TONS OF HOURS
4. Fly sic in a 135 cargo operation and get whatever flight time I can.
=best education I can imagine, no pay, ifr every day
I really need to start narrowing this down. Thanks!
