Im still geting in the industry myself. I only have a few hundred hours. However, I might be able to help a little. I would recomend going to a flight school that has part 141 teaching. This means it is syllabus based and more organized. Get your private pilot and see if you are still interested. Also there are some flight schools out there that are accelerated. Just go online and google search all this stuff. I know Mesa has some type of program and so do other regionals. However, you may not get hired by them. Good luck.
