It will be cool for you to be an instructor. I am sure teaching people to land a C-172 will make you a much better airline pilot. Then you will have many former students who can walk your resume in after you get tired of doing pattern work. You can then swing the gear for your former students...they will be in the left seat and you will be in the right. Just like old times!!!
HAHA
There is nothing wrong with being a flight instructor...just make sure the time you are building will help you get a job. Cross Country time...Actual Inst. ME time. etc.
Don't listen to him. He is probably at Mesa or TSA. Get your time to get on at a quality regional. With all these merger talks, recessions, and age 65 you might be there for a while. You'll be higher up on the seniority list when your students jump ship to another regional.
