If you want to fly badly enough, you could go to a regional with quick upgrades (most of them these days). With your 135 time, you would eligible for upgrade before the CFI's (within one year if you fly a fair amount), and would then be on the CA pay scale.

After 2-4 years of that, and you would be likely hired by a major. This assumes you have a clean background, and few or no training glitches (and can keep it that way).

The latest round of contracts is going to have the legacies paying $80-90 first year, and then over $100 second year. Top CA pay will be well over $300 (12 year scale).
