ConnectionPilot,
I think there's been decent advice given on this board so far.
Let me add some things.
You said you don't want to flight instruct, fine, let me tell you some options.
Gulfstream: Don't do it. I'm sure their training is actuallly very decent, equipment is probably good, and safety record is top notch. However, I'm against the fundamental idea of paying an airline itself to sit in the right seat.
Besides, it's 30 THOUSAND DOLLARS !
Let me give you non-instructing options for LESS than 30,000 bucks, and you can end up at regionals with low time:
The best one I can think of is Flight Safety Academy's Direct Track program.
First, you pay $5000 for a single and multi engine evaluation. Then, you interview with a regional airline. Yes, you interview UPFRONT, and only if you're hired, you're given a conditional letter of employment, and THEN proceed with the rest of the program for $22,500. Total $27,500.
If you're not hired by one of the airlines, you can interview with the other ones.
But note that only once you've been hired by the airline, do you proceed to pay the $22,500 to Flight Safety. Otherwise, you don't pay them.
4 Airlines participate in this Direct Track program: XJT, Eagle, TSA, and ASA. The ASA program as far as I know, is on hold so far. The other three are running.
Minimums: ASA and TSA: No hourly requirements, just need Comm-Multi-Instrument.
Eagle: 336 total time, 36 multi to interview
Xjet: 400 total time, 100 multi to interview.
The attractive thing is you dont pay the huge sum of $22,500 to flight safety academy unless you pass your interview and are hired.

This route mentioned is much better, I think, than Gulfstream. So don't waste your time and money at Gulfstream.
Another option: Mesa's MAPD/PACE program. PACE is for Comm-Multi-Instrument rated pilots. Cost about $12-15000 (Half of Gulfstream), and upon completion, guaranteed interview with Mesa. Again, most, like 90% of those who do this program, get hired at Mesa.
This option is better than Gulfstream, costs less as well.

So follow either one of the two options above, but don't go to Gulfstream.
