Returning advise
I’m 49 with 970 TT mostly built as CFI. I’ve been in a non aviation career for a while. I live in Greenville SC 1:20 drive to CAE so AW is appealing. According to AW’s pilot calculator I need 484 TT and 10 hrs night to meet employment requirements. I’m willing to buy a Cessna 150 and build the time in 3 months. I’d rather get it over with rather than drag out 30-40 hrs a month CFI-ing. Will AW frown on this approach? I have a bachelors in professional aviation if that helps. I don’t want to waste time at my age. Any other advise for someone in my situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Not that more looks bad, 500 is a lot to pay for when there are tons of jobs available at 1000 hours. If you can do it fast on your on though it makes more since then working a slow job for 6-8 months. Just be prepared to have lots of down time with a broken plane

Career change
I would also encourage you to find a higher end multi engine simulator and put some time in it. I believe you can use as much as 25 hours of sim time towards your ATP. I am your age and recently changed careers into flying for AW. The sim time helped me transition better from the single engine piston to 250 knot plus operations. Also, look at Restricted ATP requirements. You might be closer than you think!

Might suggest getting a part 135 job first. Gain some experience and fly some approaches then apply to Air Wisconsin.
