If they were not going on their sixth year in divorce court, our household income would be what, well over 750K in ordinary W-2 income not including investments? Hmmm. So, no loans for me, parents handled that in cash. However, to be perfectly honest, I am possibly a bit discruntled that my parents told me that the best way to get to the legacies was to go and get my bachelor's degree from 18 - 22 in a non-aviation related field, which has screwed me over from competing with kids like the OP who have no life experience in anything except for aviation. So, I do vent and lash out at these folks from time to time. It's almost like they cheated. Oh, well, they went to college from their parents' basement while I was in the most prestigious fraternity at my university gaining real-world life experience and learning about things that I never would have studied from my parents' basement. I soloed on the day of my sixteenth birthday, and got my license on the day of my seventeenth birthday, so I'm not really too concerned regardless. It just isn't fun competing with folks like OP. Honest enough for you? Tool.

You do realize that most people in this world are actually competing against you, or did your fancy education not teach you critical thinking? Your familiar circumstances put you well ahead of the curve in this life. Most people do not have the opportunities that you have been given. Perhaps a good serving of humble pie is in order?

Most guard guys have to go to regionals for a short stint.

Get hired at a regional with a flow, then join the guard.... now that's a plan

19 years old, turning 20 in 2 months.

Since I won't be eligible for an ATP, what are some employers who will hire me with CFI, and banner tow experience. Looking to build more multi engine time, and turbine if possible.

Thanks

Congratulations on your achievements so far. Keep up the hard work and it will pay dividends. One thing you might look into is Envoy's CFI pipeline program. You continue to instruct to build your time while receiving Envoy benefits, including AA flight benefits.
Here's a link that explains more.
