Back in the day that was the normal progression. Instruct till you meet 135 IFR mins, go fly 135, go on to the regionals. I just instructed, and didn't seem to have any problems, but the industry was in a hiring cycle. But I also didn't hire on with 500hrs either. When hiring resumes, the CFI, 135, or fuloughed guys will be getting the calls for the interviews?
