1. If you know anyone from the Travel Air days who flies with Flexjet I'd reach out to them to see about an internal rec, if at all possible.
2. Start with single-piston IFR review, consider a glass panel aircraft, such as a G1000-equipped 172. Fly 10 hours of IFR review and see where you're at
3. Maaaaybe look at right-seat contracting? There's Facebook groups for that - CAJL, etc.

Your times are plenty good compared to the kids we're hiring now. The sim is a verrrrrry basic hand-flown thing, no tricks. You don't need to know the airplane, just pitch/power/trim and eye scan. Hope that helps
