Hard market.

With the time and type ratings I had I still couldn't find anything. Guess what. I am still in aviation not flying but making more money than I ever have.

As a commercial pilot with 250 hours you are about as useful as a bottle of water when drowning. I suggest you work on getting your CFI because you will need it in 2 years when flight schools start to need a few CFI's to replace the guys with thousands of hours that leave for the crap regional jobs. Welcome back to the time where you can expect to need 2500 hours to be competitive.

P.S. You can make ok money flight instructing. I know quite a few that make more than 30k a year. Thats more than you might make at a regional for the first few years.
