No doubt, a ground school gig might help you understand the hiring profile at ONE airline, but you aren't flying as much as you could if at all.
Any other airline, and maybe even the one you work for will wonder if you wanted to be a ground school instructor or a pilot. I think they call it industry motivation...you would score low.
Wish there was a shortcut, but I don't know of any. Good Luck & see you on the line.
