One thing I’m confused about is how to become qualified to apply for a job.
I haven’t reached the ATP point or, MEL, for that matter. I’m Instrument rated at the moment, in an actual C172.
So what should my next step be?
Get 1500 hours and then fly a jet for a regional for a year. You may or may not need to upgrade, but I'm sure worst case you'd be marketable with some TPIC. I don't think the Sim operators are hiring ASEL pilots to teach jets.
You'll probably need CFI experience too. But you can do that on your way to 1500 hours.
