FLY, I get what you are saying. A regional job would be rough due salary and time on the road. But it keeps you current and you will pile up the hours super fast.
You could get a corporate pilot job with good pay but they usually don't fly a lot.
The good plan for you would be to get a flying reserve/guard job (anywhere) and go active duty as much as possible. Keep in mind if you activate voluntarily for 6 months at a time than you owe all of the VSP back. At least that is how it works for the Marines I believe it's a title 9 thing which affects you too.

Regional job plus flying reserve job may be best. Make sure you have good attendance (not counting mil leave) and don't call in sick too much at the regional job. All Majors will
check.
