You may want to rethink the idea of going to a specialized school. I realize that they get you through your rating quick, but word around town is that it isn't the best instruction. Now I don't have expertise regarding school like FlightSafety and ATP but thats just what I heard. Not to mention the cost. The other thing is that I feel a regional would be much more willing to hire someone who has been a CFI rather then someone who flies every weekend(not to mention flying every weekend will be rather expensive). CFI's are always challenged and always stay refreshed with materiel. Coincidentally you would be flying a few days a week and getting paid to do it. This is also a way to build time. Anyways, just some of my thoughts..good luck!
