Quickest way to get 200 more hours?
HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION:
I have around 800 hours and would like to get 200 additional hours as soon as possible; any ideas on how to accomplish this goal besides flight instructing.
Please provide links to any "possible" opportunities.

Ari-Ben Aviator or SkyMates offer really great timebuilding blocks for some really cheap rates. I have a Friend who works out of Alaska who flew to Florida with a friend to Ari and each did the timebuilding program and they flew around 7 hours per night. Or work out a deal with a local FBO i am sure they would give a great block rate if you wanted that many hours.
Besides flight instruction it is hard to do quick fast and in a hurry without paying for it but grab a friend and head to a school or FBO and crank out some hours.
wait...i think i missed the point of the post...i think you were looking for employment for the hours and not paying for them..my mistake. Oh well i might as well post this now in case someone else wants the info
GOOD LUCK!

Find a local dropzone and fly skydivers. It may not be quality time, but it will fill your total column. Another thing would be aerial photography. I don't know how big this business is in Pittsburgh, but if you find a busy business, you can get a lot of time there. You could also find a place nearby that needs to have airplanes ferried places. Local aircraft salespeople will need that. I've done all three of these. They all have their ups and downs, but there is potential to get your 200 hours doing them.
