UAL has a program with Lufthansa Training in Phoenix AZ that pays you and "facilitates" you getting hired at UAL.
CFI to UAL CPP
Also, when you get 500TT I think Ameriflight will hire you as a First Officer. If you can get the 500TT, this route would save you the trouble of getting a CFI.

Man I can totally relate. I’m a wet commercial with only 350TT. I am strongly considering CFI initial to get to 1500. My situation is tricky as I have a family and making a career change. Im staying put until next January. In the meantime looking at CFI at a few places. Ideally free would be great for a time commitment.
Falcon Aviation, Crystal Aero, Venture North, and possibly a local place. An old buddy of mine got his CFI for like 2K. It took him 4-5 months, at the local FBO, and now he is employed and on his way to the 1500.
Ameriflight would be awesome if they would take low time, 350TT and not 350PIC for what I read in another forum.

- not sure if you're aware of Silver Airways in FL but they will foot $10k for you to get your CFI ratings. See the link below. I'm not sure about the commitments that come with this but it might be worth considering.

Also, where are you in WI? I'm in northern IL (3CK), let me know if you're looking to split time.

Even part time CFI will help. I have a full time job that pays the bills, work part time as an instructor, mostly paid, but some volunteer, (flying with Civil Air Patrol). Before getting my CFI I would try to average 50 hrs per year. Last month I did 49.5hrs. Even if I'm not getting paid, still beats having to pay for the plane myself.

If you find a school in a good weather area, expect to get your ATP mins in around, or less than a year. A regional recruiter told me that Part 141 CFI is the second most valuable time you can have behind previous 121 experience.
