Yes your times are too low to be considered. At least right now. But when I got into this business there were people paying to go to work. A couple years later when i finished my ratings I didn't even flight instruct and got on at an airline with 800 hours. And there was a huge learning curve. I am a Captain at Avantair and have been there a couple of years. I would say that working for Avantair as a non-pilot would absolutely not hurt your chances of eventually moving to the cockpit. I think they are often an employee oriented outfit with the understanding that money is still the bottom line. Which is good because we want the company to survive. I say go for it if the job you would be applying for is what you wan tto do until you can get back to flying. I would say though that if it is a job you would not enjoy and that may affect your performance then don't do it cause your just setting yourself up to look bad.
