I think I'm going to go the route that crjav8er mentioned. A bunch of CFI's at my school got hired recently and I probably could have gone with them but decided against it for a couple reasons. First, I didn't want to work for the company they went to. Second, I'm really liking instucting and would make a career out of it if it paid better. Third, at 500 hours I feel that I have a lot to learn before blasting around in an RJ with 50 people's lives depending on me. I'd rather wait and have a chance at a better regional. First year pay sucks, I don't want to spend two years on it.

The FBO I used to work at handled a lot of 135 ops and the flying sort of appeals to me. It's tough, it's potentially dangerous, but it will make you a damn good pilot. I think I'll do that for a couple years and try to move to a fractional or something. Then again, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
