Question Teaching ground school for a major... helpful for getting hired?

Here is my position. I have just over 1500 hours (all multi engine jet experience so far... thanks Air Force... and I also have 1000 PIC). I am transfering to the AF Reserves to start flying C-130s and I have an interview with one of the legacy carriers to teach ground school.

Here is the question/my options:

Do I:

1. Take the position teaching ground school? It would get me experience, a type rating and in with a legacy carrier (NWA), but they probably won't be hiring for FOs in quite some time. This would obviously cut into my ability to fly with the reserves and build hours.

2. Fly my a** off in the reserves for the next year (which would get me to about 2100-2300 hours.

3. Get a job with a commuter to build hours faster than I could in the reserves, but at a massive pay cut.

Looking for any and all advice.

Thanks all
