Yeah I would defiantly go for the CFI... even if it is only for 200 hours. Not only is the SIC time in a Caravan basically worthless, you'll learn so much more as an instructor. Can you get the C-208 gig part-time?

I guess it all kinda depends on what you're after in your career. If you want to move up to jets, SIC time in a single turbine will be one of the last things employers are after... The best way to move up to jets is to get twin PIC time, and the best way to get that is to become and instructor and teach until you reach 135 mins (1200 hours).

However if you want to stay single turbine (C-208, PC-12, TBM) then yeah, I would say go for it.

IMHO
