Best advice, keep instructing, fly skydivers or tow banners on the weekends, etc. Just do whatever you can to get your time up. The first 1,500 hours is always the hardest to get.

It's not a Cirrus position, but Pacific Wings flies Caravans under several names across the country for EAS contracts in addition to the Hawaii flying. Might be able to get on right seat or something with about 500TT.
I got hired flying a Cirrus for a rich guy at 800TT. Insurance has remained at about 7K per year. The insurance company didn't seem to squeal too much, at least not this one.
