Get some more multi time and get total time up, then you can choose your airline. If you dont want to instruct, check out your local skydiving centers. They usually have a 182 you can start out in and later in the season when you get used to kicking people out of planes, you might be able to grab some caravan time or sit right seat in an otter depending on what your DZ operates. Depending on who you work for you can make 10-20$/hr and hold another job on the side, thats what Im doing now and it is working out great. Once you get 600-700 hours and 50-100 ME, make the jump.... you will then have your choice of where to go instead of Mesa or ScabJets.
Do you go to Western Michigan?? There is a DZ that advertises for jump pilots to work all summer somewhere in MI every year on AOPA's job listings page. Dropzone.com also has pilot's needed ads... make a few skydives and get to know your DZO's, skydiving seems to grab pilots by word of mouth or other connections. Good luck to you, but I dont think any airlines will pick you up at those times.
