The big advice I’d give you is make sure your apps are tight. Get them reviewed and get at least 4 letter of rec, preferably internals and keep updating every week or two. Good luck
I missed the IP time, that should help depending on how the airlines look at it. Primary trainers tend to be under 12,000lbs, advanced trainers usually are more. A bunch of IP/PIC time in a T-1 (BeechJet) would probably be more competitive than the same time in a T-6 Texan turboprop.
Also, I strongly suggest getting professional interview prep done. I don't know about you but I sucked at those "tell me about a time when...." questions. When I interviewed for a Sim Instructor job last year they threw an odd question at me, they asked "if we could duplicate you into AirBear 2.0 why should we hire AirBear 1.0". Talk about a deer caught in the headlights....
