Tough decision...

Do you think you're in danger of furlough (9E seems to be in better shape than some companies)? If so, that might weigh towards taking any resaonable flying job before the rush...it's going to get REAL hard to find a flying job AFTER labor day.

Do you want an airline career? KA PIC is probably not going to cut it, although if you already have a 1000 hours of airline turbojet SIC time, you might get lucky with SWA after you get the PIC in the KA.

Are you open to the idea of a corporate/fractional career? If so, this might be a good start. I'm on of those people who thinks most corporate/fractional flying will survive this downturn, since fuel price is much less of an issue to their customer demographic.
