Flyhigh22,
Stay far away from Mesa's pay for training program! I am a former flight instructor for Mesa Pilot Development's program at Arizona State University. Their ASU program is a quality flight training program with good instruction and hard-working students. Their PFT program in Farmington, NM is crap! It's a major waste of your money, and it will hurt your career if people find out you are a PFT guy.
Just get 600TT and 50 multi, and you can start applying to companies like Scenic Airlines or King Airlines in Las Vegas. They always hire low time guys during the spring and summer. Hiring slows down a lot in the winter months. Both those companies will be hiring a lot in the upcoming months.
I used to work at Scenic, and it is a damn good company. They treat their pilots pretty well, they give you free lunch everyday, and you are home every night. Plus you make about what the average regional pays (more than instructing, but still not much). Good luck.
