You can earn more if you work in the training dept. Sim instructors get 5th year capt pay from what i understand.
Don't know if we are going to be hiring any more. Things have slowed down. Plus with ATA, Skybus... closing up there are a bunch of very qualified pilots out there. I would expect them to be taking instructor jobs. Well PSA would be smart to hire them.
Go get your CFI and build up some time until you can qualify for a job.
