Default Looking to fly somewhere!

Hello,
I am a recent Embry Riddle Gradute, I have my Private/Instrument working on commercial and going to go straight to CFI if I can. I am currently in the Navy and looking to transition to the civilian world. I am able to use 500 of my military flight time towards my ATP, being that I am a flight engineer. I have around 3500 Flight engineer time which is a lot of flight deck experience in a Boeing 707 and about 250 pilot time so total 750 towards my ATP.. I also have an A&P license. What would be the best route to start off at a part 135 or anywhere that pays? CFI? Build more time?

135 IFR will require at least 1,200 hours, but it specifically says "as a pilot". Your best bet with 250 hours pilot time is banner towing, CFI, or skydiving. CFI would probably be the highest "quality" time, but would take more initial investment than just getting a banner tow or skydiving job.
