Slingair,
You're wanting an airline job I presume. Go to the charter side. Get out of the right seat and into the left. Build your time, Multi-Engine Turbine, PIC and Total, quicker than Air Am. Take the pay cut. It's now or later, odds are you'll be with a commuter in the next few years. You'll take a pay cut then anyway.
But then you're going to get a thousand different opinions on paths to take. I'm basing mine on being in your shoes 10 years ago, literally. I was right seat in a K/A 90, Air Ambulance, in Kansas. Now flying for a major airline based on the West Coast.
Good Luck with whatever path you take,
LAXFO
