460 hours, now what?
I have 460 hours and I'm trying to get to the regionals ASAP. I have ME and complex and high performance and commercial and instrument rating. I am not a CFI.
Any thoughts on what options are available to me?

Off the top of my head:
Survey, sightseeing tours, banner tows, getting a CFI.
You could check in Alaska, they usually need people in the summer, but I know that they prefer previous AK experience. There are some places like boutique or Air Choice one that advertise 300TT mins so you could try that, but I know AC1 has a contract for about 2 years if you go there with your current experience.

CFI. While that segment struggles, there are value buys to be had; it's becoming a buyer's market for the ticket holder. Seriously: fly 20 hours a week, take two hour lunch breaks, wear Birkenstocks. Shop around. Don't like what one outfit offers? Interview somewhere else. Schools are closing for lack of CFIs.
Or, drag banners up and down the Jersey shore.
