How long to build hours..

So, in different situations, i'm curious how long it takes to build hours.

As a CFI?
As a regional pilot?
As a major airline pilot?

We are talking being off of reserve.

Thanks for any answers!

As a CFI? 25-125 hours per month depending on the location and time of year.

Your goal once you get to a major is NOT to fly!

Once you've been in it as long as I have, you will see that it just becomes a job. I could care less if I fly or not, just keep giving me my check! That's all that matters.

What is so wrong with flying for a living? I have a friend that flew fed ex and quit because of his domicile..I think was Memphis..and got married. Now he's a teacher and regrets it so bad, he considered going to work for Horizon airline starting at something like 24,000/yr..

And i do have backup options. I have a CDL license to drive trucks, getting my EMT cert on september then may do Paramedic if a pilot thing didnt pan out. Going to go back to college in the near future and get a degree. I mean it couldn't hurt to try..
